      It’s been proven with cat’s meows. Distinct among various regions. And, they’re based on how human babies cry in those regions IIRC.

      Ask the British (and apparently Australians too) about that and we might say meerkats are Russian on account of a very popular set of insurance TV advertisements.

      That said, I haven’t watched TV in earnest for a few years at this point, specifically before Russia fell from favour, so I’m not sure whether that’s affected their popularity or not.

      And I have no idea what we might have said prior to the ad campaign.

    This encourages racist responses, but no one will notice until a people of color are involved.

        It was a prediction. We need to wait for the evidence.

        So far groups mentioned have been Aussie, Brit, French, Italian, and Russian. At the time I made my comment it was Aussie and Italian only.

        You’re the only one to comment with the accent of a people of color. You read my comment and then picked an African animal and gave it the accent of one of the African countries where it lives.

        Congratulations for proving me wrong after being aware of my comment. But your entry wasn’t at all funny or enlightening, so we all lose.

    Somehow I think ducks would have an accent like the old ‘transatlantic’ accent used by actors from the 1940s.
