Good vopros



Numerous kinds of public "Amazing Facts" often repeated "fact" that in different countries cow allegedly moo differently - in other words, with an accent. Is it really? While the answer to this question is: "Perhaps no one knows exactly».

The theory about the cow emphasis appeared in 2006 year. Most of the stories about this refer to the two main sources - the British dairy farmers and John Wells, Professor of Phonetics, University of London.

One day, Wells turned to the issue of cheese makers: they asked if there was any chance that cows moo differently depending on place of birth and residence. Wells said that, in his opinion, it is extremely unlikely, but there is scientific evidence that the voices of birds in different regions of the sound in different ways, so that the cows in this regard from the accounts is not reset.



So many people, so many opinions. Someone says: "It is possible, moo, but rather no" and someone says with confidence: "Yes, cows moo with emphasis." Some argue that Wells and others conducted a study, but even if such research is truly, the results did not want anyone to publish.
