Polyglot animal dictionary

by C. Fernsebner, concerning the matter of Words

At Bzzzpeek.com, you can hear different languages' pronunciations of their onomatopoeia for the sounds made by animals such as pigs, frogs, mice, bees, ducks, and so forth (and a few noises emitted by man-made beasts: car horns, fire trucks, trains). "This project focuses on the pronunciation and comparison of these sounds by presenting them side by side"—with a very cute interface of animals shapes and national flags—"as each language expresses them differently." They are soliciting contributions from native speakers. (Via WFMU.)
