Horse Translated
Horses have a huge impact on every culture they have touched, they have been vehicles of war, agricultural laborers, transportation, sport animals and pets.
There is a degree of horsemanship in almost every country on the planet and I thought it might be fun for horse lovers to see what the word horse looks like in other languages.

Although I did my research to find these translations I was at the mercy of online translation services and language pages across the web. If anyone has a better translation, or a language I forgot please fill me in so I can provide the most accurate information.
The word horse in Estonian is HOBUNE. It’s similar to Finnish which may or may not be apparent to a non-speaker. Finnish and Estonian are closely related languages, called the Fenno-Ugric group which include Hungarian and Saami (Lapp). There you are! The pronunciation in phonetic so you would say
HO – bu – neh.
Dear Sir of Madam,
