Animal Sounds
In different languages what do we say to mimic animal sounds? Visit 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, they have tried to transliterate the word into the English alphabet for ease of comparison. http://www.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au/Personal/dabbott/animal.html
