They should have included Finnish in the list, since it is a language that differs quite a bit from any other language.

Alternatively, refer to the more complete list here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meow#Translations

Good point!

Not in this case; it is literally the French one.

Why French? French has different spelling (at least according to wikipedia). Many other languages have same pronunciation AND spelling, including Latin.

Actually, the German one ("miau") is literally the one because Finnish is spoken as written.
