USA Greetings
Hello (Formal)
Hi (Informal)

What's up? (Informal)
How's it going? (formal)
Howdy (informal/old but funny when I hear people say it)

Morning (Informal, but adding "Good" to the beginning makes it formal)
Afternoon (Same as above)
Evening (Same as above)

If you want to do nonverbal, a smile works, a nod of the head, or a wave is fine as well.

Re:USA Greetings
Depending on where you are you might hear things like,
“Wassup” which is slang for what’s up.
“What’s good?” Which is also slang for what’s up.
All of these are informal and best used with friend.

My husband is from the south and when he talks on the phone with his parents he always starts with ''Howdy ma/howdy pops'' haha
