We don't need to have a greeting for every language environment we
support.  So if we aren't sure how are greetings written, we could
just omit it.

I installed the patch, thanks.

The Wancho script is added to Emacs this time.

Also can we add something like this to etc/HELLO:
"Some of these greetings or the script name may be wrong or misspelled so
if you know the script, please help by correcting them."?

For many of these languages/scripts it is difficult to find their greetings
and most of the time if their greetings are available online they are in
the roman script so often I have to convert them into their native script
therefore these greetings may have a high chance of misspelling or they may
be wrong altogether so adding something like the above mentioned line may
help.

Thanks
