Not exactly my language, but in tamil it is Nandri.
Nan as in short for Nancy. dri as in driven.
How many speeches have I sat through waiting for those words: Nandri, Vanakkam...

Keep in mind that it isn't a one for one word comparison across languages. Demeanor and other parts of the grammatical structure of the sentences indicate gratitude. However, as a first approximation Shukriya is very useful..
