Chilenean dogs: "... ..."

[-] Aedis@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

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

Source: I am Chilean.

Sonic already got to them all.

[-] sagrotan@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Germany more "wau, wau" btw

[-] federalreverse@feddit.de 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.)

Woke dogs from Myanmar

Me trying to impress an Indian woman.

Her dog:"boh boh"

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

In Quebec I've seen "Ouaf Ouaf" before

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Blaze@dormi.zone 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] rautapekoni@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

I think they just search for it and pick first result

[-] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months 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.

So, Fuwamoco are Italian or Bangladeshi?

[-] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months 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.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

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

[-] randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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 10 months ago

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

[-] rei@piefed.social 4 points 10 months ago

This is the cutest map I've ever seen 😍

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Where’s: BOW WOW?

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Wang Wang is just silly

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Who's there?

[-] chairman@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Same for Nepal and India

[-] Blaze@dormi.zone 1 points 10 months ago

What is the correct version?

[-] kokopelli@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I think North Korea is confused

[-] loputozirak@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

catalan dogs: bup bup

[-] Blaze@dormi.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Merci, molt bé!

[-] the_rogue@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

So they have accents ?

[-] HEXN3T 1 points 10 months ago
