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.
Woke dogs from Myanmar
In Quebec I’ve seen “Ouaf Ouaf” before
Yes that’s how it should be in France too, the map is wrong.
Ils se sont effectivement limités aux langues majoritaires, le catalan n’est pas là non plus
Ce que je voulais dire c’est que en France aussi on écrit ça “ouaf”, t’as déjà vu “oaf” toi ?
Ah bien vu, je n’avais pas vu la typo
So, Fuwamoco are Italian or Bangladeshi?
I don’t know wtf I just watched but I can assure you there is nothing even remotely italian in there
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.)
Germany more “wau, wau” btw
Colleagues is Malaysian, she said this is bullshit. Haha.
France is also incorrect, it’s “ouaf”. Maybe it’s an attempt to make it phonetically correct with English pronunciation though, I’m too bad at it to be sure.
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.
Half of English’s words are borrowed from other languages anyway.
