Hello -> Holla from French Ho là = Hey, there !

PS:  Japanese "aa sô" actually means something like a generally non-commital 
"I see", "Oh really".  Don't you remember that Emperor Hirohito used to be 
called "Emperor Aa sô" during the Pacific War years, because of his verbal 
tic of murmuring that all the time ?  FYI "etcetera" in Japanese is "nado".
