Monolingualism can be cured!

Hey pups! It's my hundredth post today, so Mom and I put our heads together to come up with an original way to celebrate it. After a little while, we thought that we would make the blog available to a wider audience of pups around the world. How? By learning new doggie languages! We all know that in English, dogs go "Woof, woof" or "bow-wow", but what about all the other pups in the world? Not all of them speak English, so I thought I'd explore and share with you how other languages mimick the sounds of dogs.

Polish: (of course the most realistic and important ;D ) "How, how" (properly spelt chau chau)
Albanian: "Ham, Ham"
Arabic: "Hau, hau"
Cantonese: "Wo, wo"
Czech: "Haf, haf"
Danish: "Vov, vov", "Woef, woef" or "waf, waf"
Finnish: "Vuh, vuh"
French: "Ouah, oauh"
German: "Waff, waff" or "Wau, Wau"
Greek: "Ghav, ghav"
Hebrew: "Hav, hav"
Icelandic: "Voff, voff"
Indonesian: "Guk, guk"
Irish: "Amh, amh"
Italian: "Bau, Bau"
Japanese: "Wan, wan"
Mandarin: "Wang, wang"
Korean: "Meon, meon"
Nigerian: "Wai, wai"
Norwegian: "Voff, voff"
Portugese: "Au, au"
Russian: "Gav, gav"
Serbian: "Av, av"
Spanish: "Gau, gau"
Swedish: "Vov, vov"
Thai: "Hoang, hoang"

Well, aren't some of those peculiar! I think Mandarin and Greek are the best- apart from Polish of course. What language do you think I bark in?


What languages can you pups bark in? Or your humans? Thank you for being with me all through these 100 posts!

Extra Licks and Extra Wags,
