[edit] Recording
Can someone add a recording? Try as I might, I can't reproduce this phenomenon without sounding very silly. The article claims, without a source, that this occurs in Hiberno-English, but I've never heard anything like the sound I am coming out with. A recording would be very helpful. 86.143.239.2 08:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

- The reason you can't do it without sounding very silly is because, to the ear a speaker of most languages, it is very silly. When travelling to the Maritimes, this was one of the most striking things I have ever heard. Just say "yeah" as your inhaling.

- I've made a recording saying "ja" normally and inhaled, but I can't figure how to link it properly. The sound file is for some reason called Image:Ja ingressive.ogg?? Please link it properly if you know how... BTW: Saying "eplekake" while inhaling smoke is mostly a cruel "practical joke" on "newbie" smokers, who beleave they just "prove" they've inhaled the smoke by saying "eplekake". But when you speak "inwards" this way hot and irritating smoke is forced onto the vocalcords wich will make most people (even hardened smokers) cough a lot. :) Qvasi 11:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm learning how to speak Norwegian, and I've heard my VERY Norwegian step-dad do this quite often, it's a very strange way of saying ja, but I can probably convince him to record a sentence (I speak Norwegian, yes) or something. (jeg snakke norsk, JA) AC 14:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Jeg lærer norsk også. I'm also studying linguistics at my University. It would be much appreciated if you could get a recording of that. Takk Hesslich 07:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
