Having been a bit of a linguist (I majored in Russian with a minor in French and a tiny bit of German), I was curious to see in how many different languages I could find "Siberian cat." I can't confess to a completely exhaustive search - I've been spending way too much time on what's turning out to be a historical novellette featuring Siberian cats, if you can believe it - but here's what I've found so far, plus some great submissions by other folks. Note that some of these are in non-latin alphabets, so your browser migh not "recognize" them if you don't happen to have that font set installed. | Arabic | القط السيبيري | | Czech | Sibiřská kočka | | Dutch | Siberische Kat | | English | Siberian Cat | | Estonian | Siberi kass | | Finnish | Siperiankissa | | French | Chat de Sibérie ("Sibérien") | | Gaelic | Cat Sibéireach | | German | Sibirische Katze | | Hebrew | חתול סיבירי | | Hungarian | Szibériai Macska | | Italian | Gatto Siberiano | | Japanese | サイベリアン | | Latvian | Sibīrijas kaķi | | Lithuanian | Sibiro katinas | | Norwegian | Sibir Katt | | Polish | Syberyjski Kot | |
| Portugese | Gato siberiano | | Russian | Сибирская кошка | | Slovenian | Sibirski mucek | | Spanish | Siberiano Gato | | Swedish | Sibirisk Katt |
If you know how to say "Siberian cat" in a language that I don't have listed, or if I've made a mistake in the list above, please
