Ululation (high-pitched tongue trill) 2

Uvulation is part of the culture in many countries in Asia and Africa (Isreal, Arab countries, etc.). This is from a documentary about schools in Syria's capital Damascus. The high-pitch ululation is usually uttered by women, often at weddings or other happy occasions. As the camera is filming upwards you can see the details of the tongue movements.

@thetroytroycan no, but u sound so smart and educated about the arab culture, i'm sure you knew it's just like clapping or cheering in the western culture??

You know what the problem is in this world? It's people like you being ignorant and voicing their stupid views and opinions all the time, how about shut the fuck up???
