<p><b>Animal Sounds</b><br />In different languages what do we say to mimic animal sounds? Visit the world&#8217;s biggest multilingual list.

For languages that use a different alphabet, they have tried to transliterate the word into the English alphabet for ease of comparison. <a href="http://www.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au/Personal/dabbott/animal.html">http://www.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au/Personal/dabbott/animal.html</a></p>
