Translating Animal Sounds

By Expectlabs @ExpectLabs

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.
