I noticed that every language represents animal sounds a little bit differently especially in cartoons and comics. What do animals say in your country? And how about a laugh? Is it ha ha or ja ja?

Slovak:
Dog- Hav Hav
Horse- Míhaha
Cat- mňau
Pig- kroch kroch
Hen- kotkodák
sparrow - čvirik čvirik
duck - kač kač
rooster: kikirikí

Even more interesting: I heard a report on NPR that British scientist found out that ducks have accents! They quack differently in London and differently in Leeds!
