    Sorry, but I virtually forgot about that one! Thanks for adding this, Yng. Now every non-German speaker visiting Bavaria will know what those shriek sounds are supposed to express - simply the same as the English "4-letter-word-beginning-with-sh". ;o)

    By the way (talking about ethnic language features), if you bump into a native Bavarian wearing the traditional ethnic costume on the Marienplatz in Munich and this guy goes "E-hah!", it doesn't mean he is annoyed, it means "Excuse me". Even though he might frown - this is the traditional ethnic frame of mind a native Bavarian wears with his traditional ethnic costume and it's called Grant (m.). ;o)

    Sorry, Yng, I just couldn't resist ...
