twi (Ghanaian) one way is: medaase: thank u
songhai (songhoi; songhay, etc): foonda goy - thank u
asante sana (swahili): thank u
shukran (arabic): thank u

good looking out (our speak): thank u


EDIT: u may see variations of the twi and songhai english spellings; afrikan languages, imo, are not easily transliterated or translated into this bastard called english. I've found the few Afrikan languages I'm struggling with and Arabic to be very expressive; pregnant with shades of meanings. And the incorrect placement of even a letter in its original can make shambles of the original meaning or it can be meaningless. Can't be played with like this dead ass english speak.

Hold tight now, there're many other members here to offer more Afrikan forms of thank u.
