I googled if people do cry differently depending on their language and found a little article on it called "Newborns' cry melody is shaped by their native language"

"Here, we analyzed the crying patterns of 30 French and 30 German newborns with respect to their melody and intensity contours. The French group preferentially produced cries with a rising melody contour, whereas the German group preferentially produced falling contours"

This probably explains why the man is crying like that I guess? It would be interesting to see if other people from that region cry the same way.

Sounds like he is lamenting. Irish people used to keen during grieving or funerals. I'm sure it varies country to country.

Keening is a traditional form of vocal lament for the dead in the Gaelic Celtic tradition, known to have taken place in Ireland and Scotland. Keening, which can be seen as a form of sean-nós singing, is performed in the Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages. Keening was once an integral part of the formal Irish funeral ritual, but declined from the 18th century and became almost completely extinct by the middle of the 20th century.

As strange as the crying was, I don't know how I'd handle seeing my child die before I did, especially in this manner. Our fucking world is broken.

Hearing that old man's crying is very tough to bear. You can feel his pain in the wailing.
