Chilenean dogs: "... ..."

So england and english colonies, spain and spanish colonies, portugal and potugese colonies and france and french colonies mean four sounds dominate it. I wonder how much more diversity there would be if not for colonization.

And not just for barking sounds lol but generally for language. A lot of modern words tend to be english words and we just use them universally. Ofc languages have always borrowed words and originate from many places but english is getting too universal now.

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.)

Me trying to impress an Indian woman.

Her dog:"boh boh"

Woke dogs from Myanmar

In Quebec I've seen "Ouaf Ouaf" before

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.

So, Fuwamoco are Italian or Bangladeshi?

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...

Wang Wang is just silly

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

Where’s: BOW WOW?

This is the cutest map I've ever seen 😍
