miyav in Turkish Jan 19, 2009

Turkish cats say miyav in normal times but in spring when they are looking for girl or boy friend they say it in a long way and they use sme other sounds which I do not understand if u want the truth. (probably not about marriage,house ,furniture,car summer house etc.)

Most say' 喵' (' ㄇ一ㄠ /miao' first tone) officially, however what they say at home may be different. Cats from Hong Kong say '喵' ('miu' first tone), for example. And I'm really not sure about Minnan cats... I believe that cats from Beijing have a local variant, and say '喵儿' ('ㄇ一ㄠㄦ /miao-er') .

In Beijing, I think it's '喵儿' ('ㄇ一ㄠㄦ /miao'er one syllable'), and not 'miao-er'; sorry about that. Cats from the minority areas may be multilingual.
