Korean:
감사합니다 (kam-sa-ham-ni-da)
고맙습니다 (ko-map-seum-ni-da)
(Both are in the formal polite speech level. The first one seems to be a bit more common, in my experience, but both are used.)

Luxembourgish: Merci (like in French, but the stress is on the first syllable instead of the second)

That Swahili looks like an Arabic loan word, though in Arabic it doesn't mean thank you. Interesting.
The Irish is so often mispronounced I feel the need to throw in the pronunciation I know (Learned off a native Irish speaker, Ulster dialect) as "gurra ma hagat"

Oops. I wrote tafadhali (which means "please") for Swahili instead of asante ("thank you). I'll fix that.

That almost sounds like English "thank you"!
