I'm from Eastern Europe and here we know what that sound is and regularly use it every fucking day in our third world lives so envy us or something

If you're an anglophone or a literal Englishman then just try to pronounce "Ongezellig" as "Onhezellih", I'm sure this will work.

>>58773Yes, but it's the same exact sound. I read online that many angloids were having troubles with spelling the "g", so I thought I would have that problem too, then I checked the phonetics and discovered this fact

>>58779It doesn't even matter, also, anglophones describes italian "ch" as the same as the english "k" sound, Italians don't actually have the "h" sound in their language. But, in fact, Ukrainians, Poles and Belarusians have one. However, this sound comes from Indo-Iranian languages and we just borrowed it from Alanians once.

>>58779I feel like English is mostly only really Germanic language in name. It's so Romanticised that it's basically a Romance language. Especially if your talking in a more scientific setting.
No.58809
>>58808That's also one of the reason why English is so widespread. Few grammar rules, very contaminated by foreign latin languages (even a literal latinxnegro could easily learn English). But Dutch has its own spot due to essentially being what French is to Mediterraneans: the latter was germanized and actually sounds incomprehensible, and any med would have an easier time learning Romanian than French, while the former was romanticised to an extent where the Germans can't really understand what the Dutch are saying

>>58808English is Germanic in most areas except for having a ton of French and Latin loanwords, and by extent that affects our orthography to a degree, most things like grammar rules, native words, spellings of native words, phonology, all of those are Germanic
No.58812
>>58811The only real native words in English are the few Celtics one's left (bog, for example), and the more universal Indo-European words like cat. English is one of the most unique languages in the fact that it's so diverse.
No.58813
>>58812Are you perhaps implying that diversity is a strength Zaryan?
No.58814
>>58813No. Diversity in a nation, whether that's old Austria-Hungary or modern day France, almost always lead to collapse. Diversity in the English language is different because all of the groups have merged to become one people. That's not the case for Scotland, who creates diversity in the UK. This diversity (as well as diversity with the intake of shit-skins), is why the UK will most likely collapse in our lifetime.
Besides I didn't say the diversity was good. I just said it was unique.
