Why is the word “okay” prevalent across most major languages?

It’s odd that such a basic language construct would be the same across Spanish, Dutch, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, French, Russian, Indonesian, German, Maldivian, Malay, Urdu, Punjabi, and Filipino and others.

It isn’t the same, most if not all of those languages have a different word. Even English hasn’t had “okay” or “OK” for that long, it appeared in the US in the 1830s.
