Can you help me come up with different ways of saying something as simple as "Hello"? Preferably through email. It can be as creative as possible
What I've come up with:
>Different world languages (whatever Google Translate has)
>Pig latin
>Morse code
>ASCII art
Fictional languages like
>Elvish (Sindarin and Quenya)
>Na'vi from Avatar
>Gallifreyan (visual language from Doctor Who, can be sent by email as an image attachment)
What else?

Anything can be a simple greeting, people figure out meanings contextually. When I was in HS and was trying to fail French I started using "alors" as hello

With the methods you already have, don't forget that you can use different greetings with those methods, and then you'll have literally thousands of permutations.
For instance, you can have Hello, Hi, Hey, Greetings, Salutations etc, and other languages also have multiple different greetings. Then, for instance, you have pig latin.... but for EACH of those greetings I've already said.
So if you put all of those together, you could have binary that translates to an ascii art image, that depicts the morse code of an Elvish greeting, only it's in pig latin.
You get the idea.

basically just .gifs, but i remember a bunch of websites trying to make 'e-cards' and 'e-greetings' a thing. maybe Flash embedded in emails (ugh).
this emoji, or an equivalent emoticon.
similar to Morse, maybe 'begin communication' signals from other audio/visual mediums? can't do sign language or semaphore over email, but i'm thinking similar to 'come in' over radio, or 'ahoy-hoy' over the phone (before they went with 'hello').

Photographs of "hello" in sign language. There are all different sign languages from all over the world, not just American Sign Language. You can also do what's known as "fingerspelling", were each gesture corresponds with an alphabetical letter. Here's a guide for Nicaraguan Sign Language if you want a really obscure one, you should be able to find alphabet guides for any sign language out there pretty much
