Only in Northern India people say Chai , in West we say chaha and different names in south .

Actually it is both in Ireland. It is very common to say "a cuppa chay" or "a cuppa chah" for "A cup of tea". Sometimes even shortened to just "A cuppa". In Irish, depending on the dialect, "Tae" could be pronounced "Tay" or "Chay"

In Japan, cha means green tea(mat- o- exc. kou- mugi-) or oolong tea. "tea" means black tea(milk- Assam- exc. jasmine-). Kou means red and cha is tea, but koucha means black tea. I think the first Japanese looked with a glass bottle and the first European looked with ceramic cup. Japanese 茶 character is sometimes read "sa"(茶道sa-dou, 喫茶kits-sa, 一茶Ic-sa) Korean 茶 is sometimes read "ta/da" (茶房ta-bang, 喫茶kkik-tta) You're a good teacha.

Korean pronunciation also includes 'cha' (차) as well as 'da' (다) for 茶. For example, green tea will be translated as 'nok-cha' (녹차) in Korean. The pronunciation for 茶道 will be 'da-dou' or 'ta-dou' (다도) in Korean, as you said.

In Lebanese Arabic we call it shai (pronounced like chai but with sh instead of ch)

In vietnamese, if the leaf was fresh and do not go through any process, it call "chè", and if the leaf was processed, we call "trà". I dont know if "chai" and "tea" have the same reason.

Fun fact: Persian has two formal and informal forms. Informal is used between friends or generally normal conversations. And formal is used in writing and serious conversation. In formal persian tea is called "Chai" like you said but in informal persian tea is called "Chaiee" (the same Cha but ended with an Yee like in Yeet) I also live in the province that produces almost all of Iran's tea (though we import a lot of tea from India and other countries aswell) So we drink a lot of tea daily. 7-8 glasses usually per day.

Portugal was the first Western European country to arrive in India by sea. Thats why in portugal is the only Western part of Europe ( if that sounds weird) with Cha and not Tea like the spanish.

The Philippines uses tsaa which probably means it was familiar with the beverage pre-Spanish colonization; otherwise it would’ve used a derivative of the Spanish tè.
