If this interests you, should look into general onomatopoeia of various languages compared to each other. The whole area of 'sounds like the sound it is' does this across dialects depending on how their brain processes sound into contextual words in relation to their spoken languages.

I am not that deep to deal with dialects, just a shallow fun of different "common" languages for common animals. The second link I gave does present the term "onomatopoeia".
Russian sounds
Dog------Gav Gav
Cat-------Miau
Sparrow-Chik Chirik
Rooster--Kukareku
Chicken--Ko Ko Ko
Cow------Moo
Sheep----Be-e
Goat------Me-e
Donkey---I-a
Frog------Kva Kva

Goat is not present in any of the links above, but in Russian goats and sheep make the same sounds. It is generally accepted to portray the sounds of the two the way I did.

Correct for French except for the sheep, it's would be "mèè" not "méé", sounding more like like a long "meh" than "may" Razz
