It is curious that, despite the fact that a dog's bark is the same everywhere, each language interprets and transcribes it according to the guidelines set by the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the most common sounds are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hau, Hau<\/strong> \/ <strong>How How<\/strong> (22 countries): form used by Arab countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wow, Wow<\/strong> (19 countries): common form in Spanish-speaking countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Woof, Woof<\/strong> (13 countries): form used in Anglo-Saxon countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oaf, Oaf<\/strong> (8 countries): form used in French-speaking countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Au, Au<\/strong> (6 countries): form used in Portuguese-speaking countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The map is very interesting, but it also has a methodological flaw, as it does not assess dialectal variants. For example, in the case of the English-speaking countries, although <strong>Woof, Woof<\/strong> is the most common form globally, at the local level there are countries that also use <strong>Arf, Arf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/word.tips\/dogs-cats-language-map\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">How Dogs Bark and Cats Meow in Every Country<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This map, published by Wordtips in 2023, shows how a dog's bark is represented in every country in the world.... <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6144,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAow66TFDA:productID":"","iawp_total_views":107,"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[11],"tags":[203,505,53,18,1428],"class_list":["post-6029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapas-curiosos","tag-203","tag-animales","tag-linguistica","tag-mapamundi","tag-wordtips"],"aioseo_notices":[],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/mapstodon.space\/@mapasmilhaud\/116180976046277303","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6029"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6029\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6146,"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6029\/revisions\/6146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapasmilhaud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
