mmmmm
hawke in arabic ,, pronounced ,, hok
however hawk ,, pronounced ,,saqer

[Alquanis]

Сокіл (sokil) or яструб (yastrub) in Ukranian.

[Habassi]

A pretty informative thread, I'd say

Hawk (the bird) in lithuanian is sakalas or vanagas. The second word, though, is more appropriate, since sakalas also means 'falcon'.

[superomer12]

It's "ŞAHİN" in Turkish.

Sounds cool, as Hawke does.

"Hawke eh" In Canadian.

Now that's funny.  In southeastern NY, near the city, we pronounce it Hauk, lol.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure if it's jastreb or sokol, the two are so alike. I'd have to check a dictionary, but too lazy XD

If it's Croatian or any language similiar... I asked everyone I know and the answers were like half for sokol half for jastreb.
So I just call him ptica (bird) now. 

I'm Slovenian ;D But yeah, it can probably be both. I mean, isn't hawk more like a vague word to describe a certain branch of birds of prey? (ujede) I checked wiki and even there the exact definition is pretty much dimmed. I also checked my dictionary and apparently hawk can translate as postovka, sokol, kragulj, no jastreb though. Edit, I did some research and kragulj and jastreb are actually the same thing. I suck at birds.

 Let's see if our way of saying it can possibly parry the awsomness of the original name  
  ( doubt it, but nevertheless;)) .
 Hawke - Sokol ( croatian )

It's also Sokol (Сокол) in Russian. Well, considering that Hawke does not equal hawk I'd rather name him Sokolov (Соколов) or Sokolkin (Соколкин). Either way, sounds incredibly stupid in Russian.

I'm half Native American and enrolled in the Eastern Shoshone tribe. The closest translation for "hawk" in my tribe's language that I know of is "kwinaa."

Владимир Соколов (Vladimir Sokolov).

Just thought of a name for my first Hawke.

I was close.
I think it describes the branch, too. My dictionary says the same, but judging on the looks, it could be sokol or kragulj, postovka doesn't look so much like the googled hawk. I must say this thread is making my head explode. I can't believe I cant translate a word into my native language.

[MortalEngines]

Hawke = Ho-ork in British, instead the 'Hark' that the American say

[Bernkastel-Delta]

Well, in spanish Hawke = Hawke, although its pronunciation is differents, for example :Jauke
and Hawk = Halcon o Gavilan i am from Mexico by the way

[WhiteEmperor]

Hawke is hawke.
In Portugal, Hawk, the bird, can be used as Falcão, Gavião ou Açor (as in AZORES).

I think I finally got it.
Hawkes belong in the  Accipitriformes order, in the Accipitridae family.
The Accipitridae family translates into "Jastrebovi" but  "many well-known birds, such as hawks, eagles, kites, harriers and Old World vultures are included in this group." So, basically, "jastreb" is teh word for "orao, sokol" etc. ?
God, I don't think we are going anywhere on this.  I don't know about you guys, but I'm just going to call him "ptica", like I said earlier.

I must mention, this thread is quite awesome and informative, as someone already mentioned.

Lol, indeed, I googled postovka and it looks nothing like sokol or kragulj, well maybe a really baby version of them Also, the people who wrote the dictionary probably weren't really adept in ornithology anyway XD Mi bi temu rekli "isto sranje, drugo pakovanje." :innocent:

In Dutch, the "a" in Hawke would be pronounced like in "spa" and the "e" at the end as in "bed".

But some would use the English pronunciation anyhow.

"A hawk" is "een havik" in Dutch.

[Shad0wOGRE]

Hawke is a proper name and is Hawke in whatever the speaker's native language is.

As a side note on character names: I started a male human noble rogue to import the save into DA2. And Nate and Anders are bantering about Ser Pounce-a-lot's name and Anders says paraphrased "What should I call him Frederick?" I LOL'd because I named my Warden Frederick. And no it wasn't done on purpose.
