For example:

Dog barking: in English is "woof woof",in Vietnamese "gau gau"

Cat: in English "Meow", in Japanese "Nyan nyan"

Cow: in English "moooo"

Frog: in Japanese "kero kero" (???? what kinda frog do they have over there lol)

How do your people imitate animal noise?

P.s. do not post the what the fox say song.

Goat : MeehhH MeehhH..
Chicken : kukru kooo
Donkey: Hayn Ku Han Ku

Most of those sounds about right. But some are waaay off.

Ones that are off to me:

Dog: bow bow (what kinda dog is this?)
Cow: ambaa, GaanN
Chicken: kot koteek
Frog: Ker ker, kero kero (so Urdu and Japanese is similar but thats nowhere close to the noise a real frog make lol)


Some more Vietnamese:

Gecko: cac ke
Goat: dit meeee dit meeee
Frog: ca ve ca ve

In all the Indian languages the sound of dog is bow bow:)

......it's all the same..... Animals make the same sound irrespective of listener, unlike people of different cultural/ethnic backgrounds whose language is unique to their own group. So it makes no difference if a Ethiopian or Nigerian or an Indian hears a dog bark or a lion roar, they will all hear it the same way.
