Here is a list of English-speaking (UK) salutations in descending order of frequency. I've truncated the list at 0.001% (sample size = 560,000)

It's important to note that the first seven salutations account for 99.6% of the population. I've also included the percentages underneath for completeness.

Hope this helps, Daniel Collicott
