A couple of friends and me were wondering about how animal noises are imitated in different languages. So I thought why not make a thread about it. I'll start by giving some German examples and I'll try to add a close English approximation in brackets so you'll know how to pronounce it.
Rooster: Kikeriki (keekerrykee)
Donkey: I-ah (ee-ah)
Cat: Miau (meeaooh)
Dog: Wau/Wuff (waoo/wooph)
Sheep: Määh (mae)
Pig: Oink (oynk)
Pigeon: Gurr (Very hard, u is as in "goo" but the rr is hard to describe. 'Rolling r')
