As someone who spends a lot of time in weird places, definitely global :)

Anybody notice that the Thai for a man saying yes is "khrap"?

Or that Tatar for yes is "aye"?

Funny old world!

I'd never heard of Tatar before so looked it up on wikipedia where it says:
The name is derived from Ta-ta or Dada

I'd heard once that Welsh had no word for yes or no, just like Scottish and Irish gaelic but according to that list it's ydw.
