It seems that there are a few common types of sounds
Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:
Marathi is listed as "Jai-fa-la", which is still somewhat similar to the second type
someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different
Zay-toon is also common in languages from the Iberic Peninsula: both Spanish and Portuguese got it (and a few other words) from Arabic.
Zaytoon is also used in urdu and hindi.
