Some time ago we shared a collection of posters showing “How Animals Sound In Different Languages” by James Chapman. Luckily, this young English artist has much more in store for us! Kissing, eating, snoring and even camera shutters all sound very differently in different languages, but Chapman’s cute posters let us compare how different languages around the world express sounds.
When he’s not creating language comparison posters, Chapman studies towards his physics PhD and works as an illustrator in Manchester. He also runs a great Tumblr featuring the rest of his creations.
Check them out to see some more great work!
In estonian. Splash is "Plärts" and piggeon is "Kulu" by the way. If you would like to know how "ä" sounds. It's like "a" from word "and".
I wonder, how all non-Estonians will pronounce 'klõps'. :P

Isto está giro, mas, faltam ainda muitas expressões para estar completo especialmente, a diferença entre o Português de Portugal, origina
Even more interesting is the difference between brazilian portuguese (from Brazil) and european portuguese (from Portugal). Really cool!
This is France french for sure, I never heard ''oh la vache!'' but in cartoons :P

There's one thing wrong with the finnish guy: that he's supposed to be surprised by snow. Well, that could be true - in July maybe.
I don't think in Finland anyone is that surprised when it snows that they would go 'oh my god'. ::D
