In different languages what do we say to mimic animal sounds?
Below is the world's biggest multilingual list.
A guiding principle behind this list is to visualise a comic book, in your language, and imagine what would be written in the text balloon coming from the mouth of an animal.
For languages that use a different alphabet, I have tried to transliterate the word into the English alphabet for ease of comparison. A forward slash is used to separate alternative words.
Animal Commands
In different languages what do we say when we tell an animal to do something?
