And do Esperanto cats go 'miaux'? Do dogs go 'wuf' or 'baak'?
I think it's fine to have international harmony, but we need interspecial harmony too
Anyway cheers for any help!
*P.S. I was thinking - we should rewrite Kermits famous "it's not easy being green" so it suits Esperanto
EDIT: As Brilanta Stelo was saying, frogs go ribbit and toads go croak. Cheers

ceigered:Frogs go croak in English, they go kero in Japan, and they get eaten in France, but what do they do when they don the green and go international?* Do Esperanto Frogs even make noises?I think frogs go "ribbit" and toads go "croak"... But anyway... lol

Mutusen:Ah ok, I thought frog legs was a delicacy in France, maybe my information is wrongceigered:and they get eaten in FranceI've never eaten frog.
Thanks Rogir for the list, I'll save that to my hard drive for later.
And I think you are right Brilanta Stelo, I thought it sounded odd, but it should be ribbit :S My bad
EDITED so that the quote worked - sorry about that Mutusen

I guess depending on who's listening the animal decides to speak their langauge?
For example, to english speakers the rooster says "cockle doodle do" and to spanish speakers it says "quiquiquirriqui" or something like that. (this is from my spanish book, i could be wrong)
But what amazed me is how distict those two sounds are for one language
And thank you Rogir for the link

alexbeard:I always thought it was funny how in different languages animals make different noicesI think that phenomenon is due in part to different (sub)species of animals. So maybe the frog species in some places sound different than in others.
