For the longest time thought I just had a knack for annoying the Somalis I was dealing with in a retail situation. As I was trying to clarify something where the answer was "yes" I'd get a response that sounds like a sigh.<br /><br />Eventually I realized that's yes in Somali. And also later discovered the Sudanese make a similar sound (but I can't recall where the difference is, it's just a slight difference).<br /> <br />The sound is very close to "mscheww" without the M part.
