...very little spelling irregularity, like Spanish.
As a native speaker I wouldn't say very little, but none.
Anyway, I'll better be catious and ask if you know any.
Not saying that Spanish is an easy language to learn, some parts are complicated, but not that one.
- dahart 4y agoI only said very little out of caution, because I don’t know of any, but I don’t know that they don’t exist either. At most very little is compatible with none. ;) Aren’t there commonly used Aztec words that don’t match Spanish pronunciation?
- narag 4y agoSo we are both cautious :) If you mean Aztec imported words, I don't know which they are. Maybe you mean the tl consonant group that is not very natural, but neither is zr (as in three) and we just get used to it, when we learn English. Could "chocolate" be one of these words? It was just adapted, both pronuntiation and spelling. The problem now is imported. It seems English has no letter for j sound... ahem, the real j sound :) being the h (as in hot) the closest, but way weaker, so when transcribing from other alphabets, like Arabian or Cyrilic, it's written as kh, see Ха́рків. But the trick isn't working and everybody reads it as a lone k. Also we receive the kh transcription... what a mess :)
