Animal sounds in different languages are weird in the first place.

Ducks go "Quack" in English, but "Coin" in French (sounds more like "kwan"), "mac" in Romanian and "rap" in Danish.

Horses go "vrink" in Danish and "gnagg" in Swedish.

And as for frogs... https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uuuploads/anim...

Ducks go gua in Chinese. My bilingual toddler gets confused between English quack and Chinese gua.
