Asalaamu Alaikum, InshaAllah everyone is in the best fo health wa strong in Imaan =) yea them arab weddings are loud! lol Sometimes they are mixed, I dont go those but still even seperate weddings have haraam in them, May Allah :D guide us all on the right path :D . They are very loud to show their happiness for the new couple, lotsa drama! lol Some ppl dont have loud weddings though & the women do that thing to show they are excited for the new couple, etc. I dont even know why, its just annoyin sometimes. Asalaamu Alaikum

Neither can I :D

 

somalis do that noise tongue wagging thing too at weddings, when the bride comes in/ or bride and groom if its mixed. Sounds pretty cool when you can do it right. It proper high pitched as well.

 

never heard them doing at funerals!

Soomaalis call it alalaas, I believe, not misharad. It is literally based on the rhymes and sounds they make on that special day, especially right after the "nikaax" time when the groom officially marries the bride. Upon hearing in the immediate happy environment that the official "nikaax" is over, Soomaali women go "alalalalala," wiggling their tongues amazingly.

We call it a ZaghrooØta r ZaghratØa :D .

[Zeinab 2]
