Okay, odd topic, i know, but i recently found out in different languages, dogs are said to make different noises. Well, i mean, when your describing the way an animal calls onomatapicly(sp/is it even a word!?), like in English a dog would say "woof woof", however, in Italian, they are said to say "Bow Wow". Anyone else know of any other languages with different noises animals make?

Yes i know, fucking random topic... :tongue:

had to do drama as part of my design course, we did a little play on the 3 little pigs, when we were planning it i said "then everyone go oink oink oink" one of the girls was polish and had no idea what oink was, she said they say something like "chlum chlum chlum" ......weird

Us bulgarians think dogs sound more like "Dzaf dzaf"... I'm not entirely sure how you spell it in english. Pigs go "Gruh gruh" for us.

I thought pigs go "gluh" but everyone else says oink (even though ive never heard a pig make a noise even remotely similar to oink)
