If you don't care the mixing of the elements of Oo and Ah . This might works:

Ah = "a","h","i"
Oo= "o", "y","wh"


text = "whats going on my friend?"
text_splited = text.split()
for word in text_splited:
    list1 = []
    list2 = []
    print("Checking this :",word)
    for ph in Ah:
        list1.append((word.find(ph),ph)) #to preserve the index of element

    list2.extend(list1)
    for ph in Oo:
        list2.append((word.find(ph),ph)) #to preserve the index of element
    list2.sort(key=lambda x:x[0])
    for i in list2:
          if(i[0]>=0):
            print(i[1])

we are just printing the found elements in sorted order. Output of above code is:

Checking this : whats
wh
h
a
Checking this : going
o
i
Checking this : on
o
Checking this : my
y
Checking this : friend?
i
