Shaking head to indicate rejection
Different cultures assign different meanings to the gesture. Shaking to indicate “no” is widespread, and appears in a large number of diverse cultural and linguistic groups. Areas in which head shaking generally takes this meaning include Indian subcontinent, Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, South America, North America and Australia.

However, in most Southeast Europe, e.g. Bulgaria, Greece and southern Albania, it is used for the opposite purpose, to indicate affirmation, meaning, in fact “yes”. In these regions, nodding in fact means “no” as well, the complete reverse of most other places in the world.
