I'ts "miau" in German/"Austrian" too. Officially, that is. Our cat Kiwi actually pronounces it more like "miiiiiiiiiiää!!!". (Maybe she's got foreign ancestors)
I like mrkgnaow, which is how James Joyce describes a cat's miaow in Ulysses. Actually, it might be mrkgnao, but I like the w. It's not exactly miaow in another language, but could suit an Irish cat, maybe?
ps The word verification word I'm having to type here is mingbum! Very rude...
