wow i can understand most of it but can completely understand how a non-native speaker wouldnt, holy shit that is terrible.

Hitler have said Japanese language sound like eagle's crowing
>>
>>73479016
They honestly sound like the language amerindians speak.

I was watching videos of an isolated amazon tribe that hadn't made contact before and it reminded me of asian languages. It's like more of a primitive tongue, a primitive sound.
>>
>>73480864
That's english? I only got "honestly, and you know what, what's the point", "I don't want to talk to you".
>>

Japan is easiest to listen compared to other east asian language. They have solid spanish like pronunciation unlike hung hang ga gul Korean, si sen seng sing Mandarin and ching chong ching Cantonese.
>>
>>73483539
no it isn't really t b h, at least it's a long way from how it should sound

>>73483452
any links to amerindians speaking?
>>
We commonly say that asian languageshave no "linguistic equpment", which is not to say they're primitive, just very different from indo-aryan shit.

Nouns typically have no plural forms, they don't change endings depending on what they're doing in a sentence, verb conjugations tend to be entrely skipped,

This is called "uninflected words".

It's simplicity is actually really sophisticated when taken in combination with the rest of a language. I'm basing this mostly on japanese, ainu, mandarin and chinese though
>>
Gee, why does a language linguistically unrelated to mine and that I'm unfamiliar with sounds so alien?
>>
>>73483792
forgive the typos, i'm deeep into a talisker
>>
>>73483806
to be fair they literally add always these extra pointless words in like topic markers and shit
>>
>>73483792
go to 2:54 and tell me thats simplistic

yeah, that's called contextual understanding, it's the sophisticated part.
some linguists have called chinese the most simplistic and most perfect language on the planet for example.

This is what happens when the well off, educated citizens migrate from your nation to join the "new colony". I feel somewhat bad for the English as Australia and New Zealand end up attracting those who were able to move their entire family across the world back in the day, leaving mainly the dredges of society behind.
Maybe they shouldn't have limited migration only to government staff and early convicts. At least then their best breeding stock wouldn't have left England the moment they had the chance.

I speak korean, japanese, mandarin and personally I think mandarin sounds worst, but it really have more to do with who's speaking it, in my opinion. if you're hearing it on the street and if the old asian tourists are shouting and shit it's pretty annoying. I still frown whenever I hear korean or mandarin on the street
