<br><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The German Wikipedia article on the topic “tschüs” is quite informative: <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsch%C3%BCs" target="_blank">http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tschüs</a> <br>
In simmary, it seems as if there might be connections towards both
Spain and Portugal (as Ron indicated) and to France, the latter
possibly via Walloon “adjuus”. The French original is more easily
recognizable in the Rhineland version “tschö” (from adieu), while the
South German “adé” might indicate a loan directly from Latin.<br>
