South African : There are 11 official languages English – cheers Afrikaans – Gesondheid and try the word Amandla for the other 9

Other African just : cheers

cheers in afrikaans is gesondheid and amandla for the other 9. Gesondheid is correct for afrikaans, but amandla means power to the people – it has nothing to do with saying cheers.

Der Georgier sagt: “vakhtanguri”, wir sagen “prost”, der Engländer “cheers” und der Däne “ska&ål”. Dies ist nicht richtig. Der Georgier sagt zu einer Gruppe vonm Menschen: “Gaumardschoss”. Dies bedeutet: “man möge siegen”. Zu einer Einzelperson sagt der Georgier: “Gagimardschoss”, das soviel wie “du mögest siegen” bedeutet. Also in kartuli ena (=georgischer Sprache) heißt “prost”: Gaumardschoss. Michail Saakaschwili oder Aduard Schewardnadse würden nie: “vakhtaanguri” sagen . “vakhtanguri” sagen nur die im Landesteil Gurian lebenden Menschen. Diese haben auch einen eigenen Dialekt. Guria liegt im Südwesten von Georgien. Woher ich das alles weiß? Meinen Freund, ein deutscher Offizier, der mehrere Jahre dort leben mußte, wollte ich mit dem Wort ” vakhtanguri” überraschen. Dann wurde ich aufgeklärt. Mit freundlichen Grüßen und “prost” oder besser “ska°l”. Ihr Dr.Wilram Tiemann

Most common : Gagimardschoss / Gaumardschoss Only in some parts of Georgien (Vakhtanguri)
 

Prost (beer)
Zum Wohl (wine) (to your health)
Hau weg den Scheiss (vulgar)
I would pretty much prefer the first (common) one as the second one is never used at all. You should remove it. ‘Gruss Got’ is used to welcome a person but not at all in the sense of ‘cheers’.

From Stefan Brede
In Germany we have different ways to say “Cheers” or “Slainte”, depending on the kind of drink as well as on the occasion. For BEER: “Prost!” (no matter at which occasion). For WINE: “Prost” with friends, “Zum Wohl” in a more formal environment. For COCKTAILS: Here we often use a toast, for example: “Auf uns!” (To us!) or “Auf Dich!” (To you!). For SCHNAPS: Here we often say something like “Und weg!” or “Hau’ weg das Zeug!” (Down the hatch!), but “Prost!” is fine as well. For WHISKY: We never say “Prost!” with Whisky. Rather, we use “Cheers!” or a toast, like “Auf Schottland!” (To Scotland!).

Old info : Prosit. Auf ihr wohl – Gruß got. – Prost ?

A common Dutch way to say cheers. In some student associations we use “goedemorgen” (litteraly: good morning) or simply “morgen”. Many
stories surround the tradition, but a common one is that it is orriginated as a
greeting to normal working people in the early morning, while the students were
still having a drink.

From Sam (Punjabi).. we usually say “chak dey” ..(very informal) translated means bottoms up…

Some said “A la sature”

–

Hey, in my 26 years of being in India, I have never heard the expression “A la sature”!
There was a foreigner who was once at our table (of all Indians), and he raised his glass and said, “A la sature”.

The rest of us just stared at him with a blank expression. He was embarassed, and he said he’d learnt it from this site.
I think you should remove it from here, as it is misleading.
After long years of British occupation, simply saying “Cheers” is the norm here.

The non existed “Macedonian” language. Macedonia is a region in the
Southeastern Europe that is devided in four countries: 70% Greek, 19% Yugoslavian,
10% Bulgarian and 1% Albanian. So Cheers in th Greek part is :”Yia
sou”.In the Bulgarian and the Former Yugoslavian part is
“Nazdravia” and in the Albanian part is both of them because it is
inhabitted by Greeks and Slavs and of course the official Albanian
“Gezuar”. (Thanks to Dimitrios Petkos / Greece)

Sahha (Cheers)
Aviva (old fashioned  – not used). Cheers is sahha which also means to
your health. I spent a year there and never heard anyone say aviva but sahha was
quite common

Kia Ora is a Maori greeting, the equivalent of ‘Hello’
In general New Zealanders tend to emulate the Australians, they say ‘Cheers’ too. (See New Zealand as well for further information)
They do not have a way of saying cheers in Maori. For more information look at New Zealand.

(From Quinn /Auckland) 

Myself as well as other Maoris here say : Chur or chur bro when saying cheers or thank you 😀

Kia Ora is a Maori greeting, the equivalent of ‘Hello’
In general New Zealanders tend to emulate the Australians, they say ‘Cheers’ too.
‘Cheerio’ generally means ‘Goodbye’
Thanx to Graeme Buckley
As a kiwi I just wanted to add to your section on how to toast New Zealand style. Kia Ora is a greeting as you say but means a little more than hello – it means ‘good health’ and is used in many contexts. Also while we do say cheers this is derives from our mostly English heritage rather than being an ’emulation’ of Australians. To say the latter is actually a teeny bit insulting!
Thank you to Wendy

As far as the greeting kia ora is concerned this is merely a maori way of saying hello which is not used at all by other cultures and in no way a form of saying “cheers”. the maoris
have no way of saying cheers apart from the occassional “cheer bro” spoken
in broken english. in new zealand we say cheers the same as every other english
country. (Thanks to Jerrard from Auckland/New Zealand.)

“Saúde” or
“A sua saúde!” The latter means to your health. The former, meaning simply “health”,
is what everyone who is raisng a glass (or simply saying it) is wishing everyone
else.

No one says “Na zdorovje” as a Russian drinking cheer.

No one believe’s in what said in Russia anymore. (2022)
This is increadibly widespread myth. It does mean “To you health”, but they only sayy it as a reply to “Spasibo”
i.e. “Thank you”.
Furthermore, there is no universal drinking cheer in Russian, however paradoxal it might sound.
Sometimes they say “Budem zdorovy” meaning “Let’s stay healthy”. Which sometimes is shortened to just “Budem” (see Ukranian version).
or “Chtob vse byli zdorovy”, i.e. “Let everybody be healthy”. Thanks to Dmitry

Old index: Na zdorovje (to your health), Vashe zdorovie or Na zdorovia (Not used !)

Some say several Russians who say Na zdorovje as a toast, including a former KGB agent.

Slainte. Here’s tae ye

A great Scottish toasts goes as follows – “Here’s te us, was’ like us, damn
few and their all deed”

Basically translated – Here’s to us, those that were like us, there’s damn few of
them and those that there are, are all dead.

It’s great to recite with a friend, one person would start raising a drink – “Here’s
te us…” and the friend would reply “was’ like us” the first person would complete
– “damn few and their all deed”

Choc-tee ( Chai-Yo )
hallo or hey : Sawadekaa – (to male) Sawadekap (Female)
Chook-die / Sawasdi

This is incorrect, as the suffix “kaa” and “kap” are not relative to whom you are
speaking, as indicated, but rather whether the speaker is male or female. The suffix
is really like a polite way of finishing a sentense / showing respect, and gender
dependant, so a male would end with “kap”, while a female would say “kaa”.

ie, when saying hello, a male might say just “sawasdee” informally to a friend, or
“sawasdee kap” when talking to his boss.

Therefore, when is comes to saying cheers, it would be either just “Chok-die” (sp?)
or “Chok-die kaa/kap” depending on whether a female/male has offered the toast.

Thai phrases above in “cheers” section mean “Hi!, How are you going!”
(Sawasdii) and “Good luck!” (chook dii).

The word I have heard for “Cheers!” in Thailand is “Chayoo!” – also the last word of the national anthem, incidentally – which is like a kind of battle cry.

Shucram

In Arabic, “Shukran” means ‘thank you’. I have never heard “shucram” being used.
Most drinkers in that part of the world are non-Arabs. “Cheers” is what you’ll most
likely hear if you’re out at a bar in Dubai … some Emirates do not permit alcohol.
