I don't know exactly what you want to know but what you are asking is a general word that should be the same or very similiar in different dialects of Chinese. It is kansha in Japanese lit. means thanks as in kansha no hi thanksgiving day. I don't know how as yet to post Chinese to the answers nor anywhere else for that matter as yet . but it is the same characters in proabaly all dialects.

Actually 'gum xia' or what u typed here as 'come sha' comes from the Chinese dialect of Hokkien. Unfortunately, many people from Hong Kong (where Cantonese dialect is widely spoken) already used to say it, making people think that 'gum xia' is actually from Cantonese. In Cantonese, we say 'Thank You' as 'Tock Chey'.
Hope it answers your question...

Hokkienese. Many people in Taiwan use 'to shia' for 'thank you' but some Hokkienese users say 'kam shia' to thank especially in Indonesia.
it has the same kanji as 'gan xie' in chinese.

i'm not sure what it is, but it's not hokkien. in hokkien (also called fookien) it's "to shia."
