Animal Sounds in YN's Language

Postby Vonum » Wed Jan 22, 2025 1:00 am

All languages have different interpretations of a typical sound an animal is allocated. For example, a 'meow' in English is pronounced ニャー (gna) in Japanese. I was interested in the different ways your nations pronounce different animal sounds. I'll create a list, you just pronounce them in your language for this survey. I'd only recommend doing this if you have made a conlang for your nation, but I'm more than interested to listen to IRL languages too

Nation Name: The Social Republic and Scientific Collectives of Frenequesta
Nation Language: Ponish (English, German, and Mandarin Chinese are also national languages, but as Ponish is a conlang, only is submitted in the spirit of the OP. IPA pronunciations follow.)

Cat (Meow): ynaa [ɲä:]
Dog (Woof): yók / rf [ʎʌx / ʁf]
Horse (Neigh): hini, kihi* [hi'ni, xi'hi]
Cow/Bull (Moo): woo [ɥɤ:]
Pig (Oink): géf [gIf]
Birds (Cheep-Cheep): tetwei / piepie [tǝ'tɥei / 'piǝ'piǝ]
Snake (Hissss): sisaa [si'sä:]
Lion (Roar): hooka ['hɤ:xä]
Owl (Hoot/Twit-Twoo): wu / wuynuu [ɥɰ / ɥɰ'ɲɰ:]
Bear (Grrr): raaź [ʁä:ʐ]

*As Ponish is spoken by sapient equines, there is a distinction between the "neighing" produced by the sapient beings and those by the non-sapient beings. "Hini" designates the sapient neigh, and "kihi" the non-sapient neigh. "Hini" is also a generalized neigh, as typically Ponish speakers also distinguish between neighs that show positive/calm emotions and neighs that show negative/excited emotions. For sapient beings, "hihi" is specific for positive/calm and "nini" for negative/excited. For non-sapient beings, "kihi" is in fact more accurately described as a positive/calm neigh, while "kini" is a negative/excited neigh. "Kiki" can also be a generalized non-sapient neigh, but "kihi" tends to be preferred.
