Wild Boar question

What's the special name for Wild Boar piglets? I've looked on the internet but couldn't find anything. I'm not wrong in thinking there is a special name given to them?

Marcassin.... In French !

Frischling....in German

Swine?
I play World of Warcraft,and in the game,wild boar piglets are called swines.

... ...In Russian no special name for "Wild Boar piglets". It,s the same for farm or wild piglets - one piglet "porosionok", many - "porosiata"...

Pretty sure it's just a piglet. Wild piglet ?

Thanks for all your replys! None of of them ring any bells though! I was pretty sure there was a special word for them, but if none of you know, then maybe there isn't?! Perhaps Willy knows

Wikipedia says:

Quote :

Name
The term boar is used to denote an adult male of certain species — including, confusingly, domestic pigs. However, for wild boar, it applies to the whole species, including, for example, "wild boar sow" or "wild boar piglet".

So I guess they are wild boar piglets...

And the male is a Wild Boar boar.....

It happened to be with tangerine and mandarine!Both words ar now used for the same fruit!
But there is a difference on Wikipedia!

In the Netherlands they are called "Frislingen", which is almost the same as in German, which is normal as we originate from the same ancestors...
In English they are just called wild boar piglets, and when they are halfgrown, they are called sounders(which can be male or female).
That is all i know about this theme...

Thanks Willy!

In the Polish language, there are separate names for the young wild boar, the female, the male herd. These names have changed from hunting the rich dialect the literary language of everyday. And in some regional dialects also apparently there are distinct names. And so we call
the young wild boar - warchlak -
young with stripes - pasiak -
a female - locha -
male - odyniec -,
a herd of wild boars - wataha -.
On the wolves also have distinct names.
Anyway, the game also other animals, although they are used less frequently. The second principle is that these distinctions in the country animals are commonly used in contrast to the city. These are my observations

Thanks Zbyszek, it's great knowing what wild boars are called in your different languages!

Well, i think the main difference is the fact that we call those animals names in the common spoken language in a country, and in the language of the hunters, and it doesn't matter in which general language.
The Slavian languages are soo different from the Western-European languages...
