I don't trust their methodology. They've put "vuh vuh" for Finland, which, while recognizable to mean a dog barking, is WAY less used than "hau hau". Or maybe it's changed and I'm just too old for this shit...

I think they just search for it and pick first result

Also some Balkan countries with Hau are not marked with the yellowish color. There is literally no difference between them and north African countries in how the map pronounces it, let alone the phonetically same countries with Hav and Haf.
