A description of how one ululates would be nice. Is it a tongue thing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.90.99.252 ( talk • contribs) 06:37, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
The article says in the Arab world it is use to express grief. I've never come across this usage. It is only an expression of joy. Can anyone affirm that? Maybe in some parts of the Arab world it used for grief. Hakeem.gadi ( talk) 04:11, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
This may seem far fatched and WP:OR, but, could the word 'hallelujah' ultimately derive from an expression of joy, essentially an 'ululation'?
From the online etymological dictionary:
“ | hallelujah also halleluiah, 1530s, from Hebrew hallalu-yah "praise ye Jehovah," from hallalu, plural imperative of hallel "to praise" also "song of praise," from hillel "he praised," of imitative origin, with primary sense being "to trill." Second element is yah, shortened form of Yahweh, name of God. Replaced variant formation alleluia (12c.). | ” |
(perhaps the Arabic word 'halal' has a similar root?)
Any experts out there care to comment? Might be an interesting addition for the article if true. 1812ahill ( talk) 00:37, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
The articles says Bengalis use ululation during weeding and festivals. Its partially true. Because only Bengali Hindus use ululation. Bengali Muslim community never doing such thing. It should mention in the article. Thank you. ferdous 15:00, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

In the movie "Dances with Wolves" members of the Sioux tribe ululate when they leave camp to hunt bison (mid movie). Is this a correct depiction of the Sioux, and possibly also other tribes of Native Americans? 95.195.156.80 ( talk) 22:36, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
