How do different languages translate the sounds of animals?
This chart by Derek Abbott of the University of Adelaide provides a detailed look at how different languages think about the noises animals make. Abbott created the chart by asking participants to visualize what an animal’s speech bubble would look like in a cartoon in their native language.
Pair the chart with this clever video that asks the same question.
