Thanks Nathan, that makes sense with the global language interaction.
Literally in English, Salute, I guess. This gives me an idea. I must sketch
it out and post.

Salud

"Salud" is the standard for the situations where we English-speakers say 
"cheers". It means "health" and is a common form of greeting when having 
a drink--the same is true in Polish ("na zdrowie" means literally "to 
(our/your) health") and Russian and a bunch of other languages as well, 
I think.
