I know this is a joke cause it doesn't have a color, but it's "Guau, guau" too.

Sonic already got to them all.

Germany more "wau, wau" btw

Arte Karambolage has done this for multiple animals, with French and Germans: Die Lautmalerei/L'onomatopée, der Hund/Le Chien (non-Europeans might be geo-blocked, sorry). Interestingly, the Germans in the video all go for "Wau wau" instead of "wuff wuff".

(There are more episodes of Lautmalerei/Onomatopoée. A funny one is the elephant. Germans all use "töröö", because of the influence of a popular children's audiobook about a speaking elephant.)

Me trying to impress an Indian woman.

Her dog:"boh boh"

In Quebec I've seen "Ouaf Ouaf" before

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Yes that's how it should be in France too, the map is wrong.

[-] Blaze@dormi.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Ils se sont effectivement limités aux langues majoritaires, le catalan n'est pas là non plus

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Ce que je voulais dire c'est que en France aussi on écrit ça "ouaf", t'as déjà vu "oaf" toi ?

[-] Blaze@dormi.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Ah bien vu, je n'avais pas vu la typo

So, Fuwamoco are Italian or Bangladeshi?

[-] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't know wtf I just watched but I can assure you there is nothing even remotely italian in there

[-] Flip 6 points 2 years ago

Can't believe they lumped the Scandi countries into "other". Denmark uses "Vuf" ( pronounced almost scarcely like woof) and "vov" about equally, and Sweden + Norway might too.

[-] rautapekoni@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

I don't trust their methodology. They've put "vuh vuh" for Finland, which, while recognizable to mean a dog barking, is WAY less used than "hau hau". Or maybe it's changed and I'm just too old for this shit...

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I think they just search for it and pick first result

[-] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Also some Balkan countries with Hau are not marked with the yellowish color. There is literally no difference between them and north African countries in how the map pronounces it, let alone the phonetically same countries with Hav and Haf.

What about ruff ruff and similar. Meong and bwekaa seem quite unlikely to me. I need someone to sound that out for me

https://translate.google.com/?sl=ko&tl=en&text=%EB%A9%8D%EB%A9%8D&op=translate (listen to the pronunciation)

I did a bit of searching, and Korean really does use meong meong (멍멍) for barking. It's just that Korean romanization isn't that intuitive for an English speaker. The eo (ㅓ) vowel sounds like an uhh, and not like the eo in "meow".

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

yeah "meong" sounds more like a housecat, if anything. And whoever thinks any animal says "bwekaa" needs an ear exam.

This is the cutest map I've ever seen 😍

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Who's there?

[-] chairman@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

Colleagues is Malaysian, she said this is bullshit. Haha.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

France is also incorrect, it's "ouaf". Maybe it's an attempt to make it phonetically correct with English pronunciation though, I'm too bad at it to be sure.

[-] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Same for Nepal and India

[-] Blaze@dormi.zone 1 points 2 years ago

What is the correct version?

[-] kokopelli@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think North Korea is confused
