A Cow Says “Ehmbwahhhhh”

Filed under: Misc, Observations — by sackrosanct @

One of the fun things about other cultures is learning how their animals “talk” differently.  Well, actually, I’m pretty sure the animals talk the same, it’s just that we interpret the sounds differently.

In Ethiopia, this is what some of the animals say:

Cow - Ehmbwahhhh

Sheep  - Ehmbahh

Goat - Mehh Mehhhhh

Chicken -  Back Back Back

Rooster - Coo Coo Looooooo

Frog - Quahck Quahck (Omigosh, I did NOT know Ethiopia frogs were bilingual in American Duckese!!)

Horse - Meeee ee eee eeee

Donkey - ah HEE  ah HEE ah HEE

Dog - WOW wow wow

Cat - Meow

Snake - Tss Tss Tss

Mouse - Tss Tss Tss

Pig - Wehnk Wehnk
