I think that "hao" may be the second half of "ni-hao", which I think is Mandarin Chinese, but you should check that.

vaanga seems to be Tamil....

Hello,

I �ve done some researches about your words "Vaanga" and " Hao".
"HAO" means actually "good", is a chinese word, for example: "hen hao" is used when people compliments others if they did something nice, good.


Vaanga samaikkalam

means "come let �s cook" and is a punjabi word....
