well, being fully trilingual...i can only say that in various languages, people have different interpretations of the sounds that animals make. very interesting. i was teaching my (silly) secondary school boys some french and the topic was comprehension. a dog was barking in the dialogue. in french the dog said (in the comic strip) arff arf, in english i think we'd say 'yap yap? i cant quite remember. the meouw sound is similar though the spelling is different, even in afrikaans the word is similar (afrikaans comes from dutch) and the word for meouw is miaau. so sometimes the sounds are interpreted differently but only slightly. cows dont really go moo, when we decode it into 'human' sounds, it seems that way. besides, their vocal chords are of a different genetic structure to ours, theirs are limited in scope and functionality. they have four stomachs, for instance, and they chew the cud (they bring up previously digested food and chew on it later).
to bring it to humanlevel, some people have speech defects right, its because genetically, they have 'flaws' which makes them speak differently to what most people speak. for instance, i have a lisp, it could be due to a number of things, the part under my tongue could be tighter than in most people, or i could just be lazy to firmly pronounce my s. some people's tongues can't stretch far enough to say the 's' comfortably, so, cows say 'moo' cause thats probably all they can manage to say which sounds 'decodable' to us as humans.

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/kZnns

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

Very good question, actually they don't just go moo, according to recent research by a linguist animals do speak in 'dialects' or with accents. Also, there are other words for the sounds animals make in other languages, of course, if you're interested go to this link and listen to this recent prog on Radio 4, well worth the 30mins to listen to the academic guy making all these noises on national radio. Trust me, I'm not bonkers, it was on the bloody BBC!!

I don't actually know but there you are.

Apparently somone does (clearly far more educated than you or are) and has written a book explaining it for little kiddies (see below).

Is it rude to answer a question with a question?

Do they moo in all languages?

it actually has a very reasonable reason, you see,cows have such thick lips , right?when at the bigining all creatures decided to pick a calling sound cows decided to go booo and because of their very thick lips they couldnt make their lips into the right shape to go booo and they were forced to go mooo so as you see its quite scientific
