Is japanese a meme language?
Beijing + Bejita = Chinese Latino

>>18675610Nah. Lol.
>>18675610Japanese has stricter rules for what type of syllables they can have than English so they have to add vowels to make words pronounceable. Sort of like how "mnemonic" and "pterodactyl" are perfectly good words in Greek but we can't put consonants together like that so we have to drop the first one, or how we end up calling the Israeli legislative body the "kuh-nesset" because we can't put "kn" at the beginning of a word.

>>18676061The third word in your post has not one but two groupings of consonants, including at the beginning of the word. We can pronounce all that just fine. Those Greek words have just developed gradually different pronunciations in English over the centuries. And the only people who give a shit about kikesrael are evangelical boomers who can barely even speak English.
>>18676127Yes, /str/ and intervocalic /kt/ are allowed under English phonotactics. Syllable-initial /pt/ and /mn/ aren't.
>>18675610There is three kinds of languages in the future:1. Dialects of English2. Chinese3. Languages infected by English to the same degree English was infected by Romance language vocabulary
>>18676137>Syllable-initialBut we can still pronounce them elsewhere, as in amniotic and apoptosis. Which means we can pronounce foreign or made up words that use them just fine, even if they are no longer naturally found that way in English. That is different from the Japanese having to add vowels to foreign words to work around sounds they totally lack and cannot otherwise pronounce. The equivalent to that in English would be rolled Rs and all the horrible throat noises made by frogs and arabs.
>>18676154English speakers really do have trouble pronouncing "pt" or "mn" at the beginning of a word, though, try asking one to.
>>18676087WHY ARE WHITE PEOPLE SO VIOLENT?
>>18676440It may vary by individual, but it's not generally considered a sequence allowed under English phonotactics. (But also did you say /ptɑ/ really, or did you say /pəˈtɑ/?)
