>>67474020
they are like andalusians, only pronounce half of the written words

>>67477095
>>67477113
The fact that two different words, lead and lead, have the same exact spelling bit are pronounced differently is already mongoloïd tier.

>>67477462
Makes for great poems and songs though.

>>67477199
Andalusians are the best

Stop replying to the schizo, he makes up flamebait

Swedish has the same, but with pitch accent.
it takes soo long for foreigners to learn it, and even then it will never sound as good as a person who learnt it from childhood.
It's the reason all foreigners sound "arab" (actually its just a lack of pitch accent)

>>67477575
Eh, never was into English poetry.

>>67477575
about fucking lead?

>>67478100
But which one though :^)

>>67474031
I'd definitely prefer to read six lines aloud wtf

>>67478100
There once was a man called Fred
Who couldn't get out of bed
You wouldn't believe
That he used to lead
But unfortunately he ate too much lead

It's time for revolution. English should've been banned.

There once was a man from Nantucket
I've never actually seen the rest of the poem

Blame yourself. Old Norse was one of the first languages that shit up Old English, right after Latin did. Then French, then Greek loanwords.

Thanks Obamasson.

Great Vowel Shift followed by 18th-century spelling and language reformers who all managed to make partial, minuscule changes.

It goes far deeper than that. We're talking nearly 2000 years, not 200.
