German is wrong. Its Quak.
Yeah. It sounds correct but the spelling is not known to me
mu mu (toki pona).
All animals say "mu" in Toki Pona btw.
They're justified and they're ancient!
We need a version of "What does the Fox Say" with every animal sound replaced with 'mu'.
OP OP
OPPA GANGNAM STYLE
Hot take, English got it wrong. I've never heard a frog make a sound like "ribbit". German or Turkish, on the other hand, seems like a sensible and appropriate sound a frog would make.
Counterpoint: "Kwaak" is the sound a duck makes, so frogs gotta say something else.
Have you ever set by a creek on a warm summer night? It's more like riib riib riib riib, but I can see where ribbit came from
Edit: found this which is pretty close to what I'm talking about.
I've definitely heard some sort of frog/toad make the "ribbit" sound, but I'd say the German "kwaak" is probably more common. The various Asian sounds seem odd to me though. I suppose it is entirely possible the frogs makes different sounds there.
