This confuses, terrifies, and enrages the non-anglo
it does, not for me but for people around me
they always say "happy birstday" or "fhanks"
I can say th
th is equal to d right ?
th is the biting your tongue tip softly and blowing air
dh *like in that) is the voiced version of that
a little bit softer I think
RR
This terrifies and confuses everyone apparently
It's easy peasy, but i still roll my Rs cause i like it better and i'm not required to do so.
Greeks make this sound too
that all you got?
pathetic
*hard R*
this confuses, terrifies, and enrages the anglo
Se
Ze
what do terrifies me and confuses me is your fucking vowel sounds, seriously what the fuck
it's like D if you leave space under the roof of your mouth and blow through your teeth
Is it true that Spaniards pronounce Garcia as Garthia
This
Brits are the ones who can't pronounce 'r' unless they're adding it to words that end with a vowel
All spaniards have a lisp
No, South Americans pronounce García as Garsia.
thanks to pewds we all know how much swedes love the hard R
B A S E D
>This confuses, mystifies, terrifies and enrages the non-dane
Japanese people for sure
Can't the people in Iceland say the th sound because they have a similiar thing in their language?
We pronounce the s like you do, it's you who don't differentiate between z and s
>voiced velarized laminal alveolar approximat
lol wat
Try making a th (as in "this") while resting your tongue behind your bottom teeth.
It's like that.
*uvular trill*
>this perplexes, dumbfounds, baffles, angers and infuriates the subhuman
If it makes non-anglos feel better I had to have speech therapy sessions as kid because I couldn't make this sound.
In danish it's usually a voiced uvular fricative/approximant. But sometimes it can be trilled, voiceless or even pharyngeal without anyone noticing the difference.
>uk blank
uh
Italian has rolled Rs too
I know, but a lot of people, even native spaniards, can't pronounce them
I had to go to vocal therapy as a kid because I couldn't pronounce "th"
ha ha what a fu*king retard
en.wikipedia.org
>This also confuses, mystifies, terrifies and enrages the non-dane
know this feel all too well
the only cure for rolled R's
Hehe, I quite don't think they make mausers that small !
Usually only Rs at the beginning of words and double Rs are rollled, single Rs in the middle of words are replaced by an alveolar tap. Some accents don't roll Rs at all.
This is known as "erre moscia" (weak R) here and it's considered a pronunciation defect by most.

>ruins French language forever
I can't speak """th""" ٩(๑´o`๑)۶
>Nuxalk
>The notion of syllable is challenged by Nuxalk in that it allows long strings of consonants without any intervening vowel or other sonorant. Salishan languages, and especially Nuxalk, are famous for this. For instance, the following word contains only obstruents:
>[xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬːskʷʰt͡sʼ]
>'then he had had in his possession a bunchberry plant.'
>en.wikipedia.org
>Yes, this language can create long words with no vowels whatsoever. Linguists can't explain how the hell the syllable structure of this language works because of how weird it is.
>en.wikipedia.org
>Taa has at least 58 consonants, 31 vowels, and four tones (Traill 1985, 1994 on East ǃXoon), or at least 87 consonants, 20 vowels, and two tones (DoBeS 2008 on West ǃXoon), by many counts the most of any known language.
>These include 20 (Traill) or 43 (DoBeS) click consonants
>Five vowel qualities: a, e, i, o, u. Same as spanish
>Vowels distinguis between short and long, with short vowels coming in plain, nasal, murmured, pharyngealized, strident, glottalized, murmured+glottalized and murmured+pharyngealized. Long vowels can be all of these as well as combining all the non-plain variants with nasalisation. There's also 11 dipthongs and 4 tones (two of which only appear on long vowels).
>This means that there are a total of 72 variations of the vowel "a".
>This isn't even getting into the ludicruos fucking clicks that this language displays, like the 5 different "Voiced velar plosive followed by uvular ejective" clicks or the 5 "ingressive voiceless nasal with delayed aspiration" clicks.
>Or the voiced ejectives.
>Or the mixed voice stops.
There are so many wonderful, insane languages out there that receive little to no attention and are slowly dying out.
Everyone has trouble pronouncing R right ? haha
"tsu" is very hard to pronounce in most Asian countries
"Eun" is hard to pronounce in most western countries
Exactly how is Eun supposed to go? We have a sound which you write like eu, and it's pretty easy
Proto-Germanic had eth so all Germanic languages had it at some point
its like D but ur humming the D by putting the tongue behind your front teeth
Ech is the real killer
as a non native german speaker it took me a while to get it I had like an austrian accent speakng german because I would use rolling Rs
It's not even hard

many Spaniards don't pronounce the S like us (or English speakers, or most people on the planet) It's very unusual.
They use the retracted apico alveolar S, the one that makes "esto no es fútbol, esto es otra cosa" sound almost like "eshto no esh fútbol, eshto esh otra cosha" they lack the "normal" S completely
In the late middle ages, the Spanish S was that almost SH sounding S, and Z Ce CI was TS.
The Z Ce Ci later became like the S of English or Latin Americans (voiceless alveolar sibilant), and later (because the retracted apicoalveolar sibilant and the voiceless alveolar sibilant were not that different), this last one became TH in Castille, while Andalucians went the opposite direction and used the "normal" S for everything, later taking it to Latin America.
Wikipedia has a great article about the Castillian S, which used to be present in much of Europe, but in other regions either became like the S of English or like SH.
en.wikipedia.org
"Often, to speakers of languages or dialects that do not have the sound, it is said to have a "whistling" quality, and to sound similar to palato-alveolar [ʃ]. For this reason, when borrowed into such languages or represented with non-Latin characters, it is often replaced with [ʃ]. This occurred, for example, in English borrowings from Old French (e.g. push from pousser, cash from caisse); in Polish borrowings from medieval German (e.g. kosztować from kosten, żur from sūr (contemporary sauer); and in representations of Mozarabic (an extinct medieval Romance language once spoken in southern Spain) in Arabic characters...."
"Because of the widespread medieval distribution, it has been speculated that retracted [s̺] was the normal pronunciation in spoken Latin. Certain borrowings suggest that it was not far off from the sh-sound [ʃ], e.g. Aramaic Jeshua > Latin Jesus, Hebrew Shabbat > Vulgar Latin Sabato...."
Here kids are sent to fonoaudiólogos if they can't do it
My brother ruined the life of his stuttering autistic son who can't pronounce the R by not sending him to treatment until primary school (his wife found the idea that there was something wrong with her son offensive)
youtube.com
Nuxalk sounds so fucking weird
A few languages but that's all the britbongs can really celebrate so just let them have it
it's not that hard tbqh
ñ
They emphasize letter e and treat n like silent
I can't pronounce the r properly and I stutter a bit D:
Nah, it's easy. I just have to pretend Spaniard lisp.
>tfw pretending speaking as Spaniards I can do th sound
yeah, but only for retards
das rite
x2
>th is equal to d right ?
I believe your D has a little snap to it. TH is smooth.
I have a friend whose name is Ruiz. He asked me how I thought it should be pronounced and I pronounced it like the Germanic name Rühs - one syllable. He said it was one of the very few times anyone pronounced his name properly.
I'll fucking snap your D
That sound is also in arabic along with another tongue-between-teeth sound which is a lot harder to produce than both of the english th's called ـظ.
Asians can never say my name :( [spoiler]Zach[/spoiler]
We defeated you filthy inbred anglos.
Some say we are mongrels, but that is incorrect.
We are a white nation that is made up of all kinds of white ethnicities.
^ This is a good thing, because it makes us more genetically diverse and less inbred.
Enjoy brown teeth by the time you're 30, Britfag
Meanwhile I'll enjoy my American food and technology & laugh at you faggots on int
Me too
I can't pronounce this fucking bullshit it feels so retarded
This confuses and enrages the non-white man.
it's like d but with a lisp
њ
The = za
Through = slough
Forth = force
Pretty easy
>Lh, ã, ç
The = za
Through = suru
Fourth = fōsu
>The = za
this
is Lh the same as Ļ?
i remember how our teacher was training us to pronounce this fucking th.
At the beginning of the lesson when we all stand up to greet the teacher we were not allowed to sit down until every single one of us pronounced th correctly
Tell me how would you pronounce the following:
Ă; Â; Ț; Ș
Yes
no clue no clue TS SH
we have in russian letters for these. It's impossible to write them in latin. You can google them if you want i guess: Э - Ă, Â - Ы, Ț - Ц, Ș - Ш
Ă is like the a in about. Â is like a shorter ugh or uh. Ț is Ts or Tz and Ș is Sh.
We have some words from old Slavic. We had to write them down somehow after we switched from Cyrillic script to Latin. The oldest surviving document in Romanian is from 1521 and is titled Cкpicѻpѣ льи дє лa Кымпȣлȣнг (Scrisoarea lui Neacșu de la Câmpulung).
So I've been pronouncing my last name wrong this whole time?
Th is Þ
>Ă is like the a in about. Â is like a shorter ugh or uh
are you sure it isn't the other way around though?
"Â" is a very throaty sound and it is the equivalent for the russian "Ы"
"Ă" would be like an "ugh"
Except when it isn't.
Pronounce about in English with a longer A and you get the ă sound to my ears.
yes, sorry, but what I really wanted to say is that "ugh" is the same as the "a "in "about"
I know that feel bro. I couldn't pronounce R as a kid.
Couldn't find a good equivalent for  in English so I improvised.
how did you see this inability of pronouncing it? kids I used to know with this were something like "I just can't, the doc told me it's genetic"
english is a meme language, wish I knew french as much as I know english tbqh
I know that feel, fellow Asiatic. Although I can pronounce R now.
