-猫 (Neko) Cat: ニャー – Nya-

-犬 (Inu) Dog: ワンワン – Wan Wan

-蛙 (Kaeru) Frog: ケロケロ – Kelo Kelo ゲロゲロ – Gelo Gelo

-豚 (Buta) Pig: ブヒブヒ – Buhi Buhi

-ライオン (Laion) Lion: ガオー – Gao-

-牛 (Ushi) Cow: モーモー – Mo-

-羊 (Hitsuji) Sheep: メ―メ― -Mee Mee

-馬 (Uma) Horse: ヒヒーン – Hihiin

-象 (Zou) Elephant: パオーン – Paoon

-鼠 (Nezumi) Mouse: チューチュー – Chu- Chu-

I started my new project 'Little Japan Dictionary' for the purpose of spreading the Japanese culture to the world. My English could be a bit weird sometimes as I am still learning, also the information I provide here could be wrong and contain my own opinion. Therefore, I would like you to just chill and enjoy gaining some interesting knowledge from here without serious argument. Hope you like it, thank you!
