Give me some funny animal otomotopia from other countries.?

Question

The funniest gets 10 points

Like, people don't think a dog goes "woof woof" in Japan. They go "Gwan Gwan" Gimnmie some more.

Answer 1

Check out the site below. It has a ton. (For instance the sound a Turkey makes in Turkish is glu glu.)

Answer 2

In Finnish, a dog says "hau hau!" (pronounced "How how!")
In French, it's "Ouah" (pronounced "wah")
In Swedish, the word "howl" is "yla" (pronounced eewla") and they'll write the wolf-howl sound in a comic book "yyyYYYyyyylllllll" or something like that (like the American "ar-ar-arrooOOOooooo")
In Swedish, a cat says "mjau" (pronounced "myow")
A Swedish pig says "naff naff" (pronounced "noff noff")
I don't know what language (probably something Nordic, since that's where I was mostly) but a rooster is known to say "ku-ku-li-kuuu" (pronounced "koo-koo-lickoo")

I had a cat calendar one year that listed the word for "cat" in several languages I don't speak. Many were onomotopoeaiaic in nature. Several had "miu" and several others had variations of "mau." (pronounced "mew" and "maow" respectively.)

Twiga is the Swahili for giraffe. Every time I hear the word I see a twig or even a twiglet in my mind's eye. It's the long neck!
