What is the homophones of hello?

There are no perfect homophones for "hello" in English. A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and spelling.

However, there are words that sound very similar to "hello" and could be mistaken for it in certain contexts:

* "Hullo": This is an older, less formal version of "hello" that is still sometimes used, particularly in British English.

* "Hallo": This is a German word meaning "hello."

While these words are pronounced similarly to "hello," they are not true homophones because they are spelled differently and have slightly different origins and uses.
