Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah

"Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah" is the lexigraphic representation of a common children's chant. It is a rendering of one common vocalization for a six-note musical figure that is usually associated with children and found in many European-derived cultures, and which is often used in taunting. The figure comes from a pentatonic scale of A minor, if starting on the pitch of G: G-E-A-G-E. The pentatonic scale is nearly universal in human cultures. It is also within the easiest range for children's voices. The Korean figure uses the same scale with a different pattern of notes.
