Asian Indians shake their heads when they talk because it is in their nature too.

Dont know. However, I asked the same question a while back (see message ID 1216199984510) and got no responses, so I’ll be very curious to see what replies you get… take care John.

This movement of the head is probably a form of non-verbal communication. It is common in Indian Asians, whereby a head ‘wobbling motion’ is often observed when they are in conversation.
