Because of the Austronesian substratum.

Why do you?

>>
>>71663297
Japanese is somewhat of a language isolate. Some say that the closest relative of Japanese is Korean, but their different enough to be not be placed in the same fundamental language family. There are other Japonic languages too in Okinawa and all, but nothing outside Japan has any considerable similarity to Japanese.
>worms trying to sound human
This...most non-Indo-European Asian languages have VERY different features and flow that you might be used to hearing. Think about it. Tones and shit, monosyllabic words etc. Japanese sounds much more pleasant and relevant to me as well, while Chinese and Vietnamese sound like aliens talking. That's because we are used to the flow of Indo-European sounds that Japanese seems to have much more than Chinese. I can't really say it in words desu. I hope you can vaguely understand what I'm trying to say. Also Japanese sounds comfy because no consonantal conjuncts and things.

I've heard that phonetically, Japanese has some weird similarity to Spanish.
>>
>>71665839
You don't know what you are talking about.

korean is a language isolate and has nothing to do with japanese

I'm not sure about spanish, but there's some portuguese loan words in japanese.
>>
>>71663297
because you're a weeb and have been exposed to it. Someone who can't even recognise the language will think it no better than any other foreign asian language. I prefer Mandarin to it, personally.

Cantonese is pretty neat too.

>>71677861
Really? Cantonese sounds like another incomprehensible south east asian language to me. I rather like mandarin. At least I can know it is chinese language.

Weeaboo is a meaningless meme and that is no longer true due to the invasion of normalfags.

Idk what caused it, but our phonology is quite similar to those in Pacific islands.

More mindfuck
"Let's cover eastern europe" is basically pronounced

"tooooooonton"
>>
I went to a performance in Osaka last nigh that portrayed Hideyoshi as the hero and Tokugawa as the villain, that seems to be a running theme among the people I talk to in Hyogo.

It got me wondering, do people feel the same way in Tokyo, or do they think Hideyoshi was the villain?
>>
>>71681842
Oops, I meant Hideyori.
>>
>>71665969
Thats because all the letters but g ,h and z have the same phonetic sound
