Vikings spoke a language called Old Norse and there are several ways that you could translate the English word "hello".

As a formal greeting to someone of high status, you might use vestu heil ok sæl.

The word "greetings" translates as kveðja.

A common everyday greeting was ves heill, equivalent to Old English wassail, meaning literally "be healthy".This was also used as an encouragement to drink far too much mead or ale.
