minus-squarewander1236@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 months agoAnyone who makes fun of eastern Asian languages for not differentiating between L and R has never compared romance languages.
minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoWhich romance languages, at that! They’re all different! Haha
minus-squareLinnce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIn Portuguese it’s spelled coronel and pronounced just like that, with the R in the middle. I can’t think of a single word where the L and R interchange. I can’t speak for other romance languages though.
minus-squarewander1236@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoI’m not thinking specifically of colonel. There are things with Spanish vs Portuguese like plato vs prato, playa vs praia, etc. Colonel is also actually an example since it uses an L in French but an R in Spanish and Portuguese.
