Privet is also European. Not only because Russia is in Europe also, but they speak Russian in Ukraine and Belarus also.

Why are some languages shown with their native writing system while others aren't?

We should be forced to do them in order. Otherwise people just type in random languages.

"Jambo" is not actually what they say in Swahili. You have to say "Hujambo" (to one person) or "Hamjambo" (to more than one person).

I agree with the comments that there is no need to tell us what the starting letter is, and you need to force us to answer for each one. Right now, we can just type in any language we know of, even if we don't know "Hello" in that language. I also think you need to make a decision about how to post those languages that use foreign scripts: Either post all of them in their native languages or post all of them in romanized form.

and Privet should be written in Cyrillic, Marhaba is writting in the arabic script, Konichiwa in Katakama, ni hao in it's characters... Punjabi should be written in it's own script if Hindi(another Indian language) is also...

We actually have "Olá" in Portuguese. It would be a more correct translation.

Apart from the "Olá", which I agree, I don't know if there is another word in Hebrew or not, since Shalom means peace

Actually, even the word "Merhaba" has got Arabic origins, Turkish is not written with Arabic script, so this spelling is OK. Some scripts cannot be written because of encoding problems (as seen with the Chinese entry) also the starting letters are unnecessary. Even if the languages are not widely known.

If you need help, Shalom is written like שלום . Also, with Exobius' concern, since Shalom does mean peace and is used in real speech as both, maybe you might want to try ברוכים הבאים (Bruhim HaBaim), if Shalom does bother you.
