As-salamu alaykum (Arabic: ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ, wey dem romanize am as as-salāmu ʿalaykum), dem dey rep am like salamun alaykum den salam alaykum for English insyd, be some greeting for Arabic insyd wey e dey mean 'Peace be upon you'. De word salām (سَلَام, wey de mean 'peace') don become religious salutation for Muslims[1][2] worldwide wen dem dey greet each other, though dem dey use am as a greeting before Islam come, den e dey common among Arabic speakers of oda religions (like Arab Christians denMizrahi Jews), den speakers of languages plus Arabic loanwords, like Indian Christians wey dey speak Hindi-Urdu for de northern Indian subcontinent dey use salaam[3][4]
For regular speech insyd, often dem dey use de shortened form salām wen dem dey greet person,[5] den dem don dey use am as general salutation for oda languages insyd.
De normal response to de greeting be wa-ʿalaykumu s-salām (وَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلسَّلَامُ [wa.ʕa.laj.ku.mu‿s.sa.laːm] ⓘ, 'den peace be upon you'). Insyd de Quran period one repeat as-salamu alaykum, buh de inverted response dey attest insyd Arabic no be long after ein appearance insyd Hebrew. Dem fit expand de phrase to as-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatu -llāhi wa-barakātuhᵘ̄ (ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ [as.sa.laː.mu ʕa.laj.kum wa.raħ.ma.tu‿ɫ.ɫaː.hi wa.ba.ra.kaː.tu.hu], 'Peace be upon you, den de mercy of God den His blessings').
Dem fit trace de greeting "salām" to de Laqit bin Yamar al-Ayadi (6th century) insyd,[6] den cognates for older Semitic languages—Aramaic šlāmā ʿalḵōn (ܫܠܵܡܵܐ ܥܲܠܟ݂ܘܿܢ) den Hebrew shalom aleichem (שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם shālôm ʻalêḵem)— wey dem fit trace back to de Old Testament period insyd.[7][8]

But they prefer "jai masih ki." Or older people prefer "salaam." ... In the northwest, as elsewhere in India, people's form of greeting often identifies the community from which a person comes. Because of this, Christians are often taught to say "Jai Masih ki" as a distinct form of greeting.
