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'.

I like how that sounds, might have found a new name for my first char in this, thanks

In my Amsterdam dialect there are only two kinds of birds: "sijsies" (siskins in English) and "drijfsijsies" (siskins that float, i.e. ducks).

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.

This.

In Danish Hawke would be Høg - and here's a litte trick. You don't say the g at the end as it gets softened to a e sound. So you would say Høe. Confusing, isn't it?

So, it's basically a guttural moan, akin to the last gargle of a dying man? What has happened to the Danish language?

A gutteral moan would describe it very accurately. The danish language is full of gutteral moans and has been for a while, mostly due to german influance. So that's what 'happened' to the danish language. It's always the germans.

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.

Well jastreb is vulture so sokol or even kragulj is much better:happy:

My language is too hard to understand for people and i don't have the keyboard for it so i can't say and it might sound rude to some.
