I'm sure that table omits languages in which it looks nothing like "ananas". In Brazilian Portuguese it's "abacaxi". The second response in that question seems to address this.

- niemandhier 3y agoTo be fair: in Portuguese this is phonetically not to far away from ananas. At least for me the following are close phonetically in Portuguese: Abacaxi Anacaxi Ananaxi Ananashi Ananasi

- cassianoleal 3y agoActually in Portuguese the 2 words are phonetically very different. Abacaxi is pronounced ah-bah-kah-SHEE, whereas ananás is pronounced ah-nah-NAHS (depending on the region, the tailing "s" takes the sound of "sh" which is slightly closer but still pretty far). Note that in Portuguese proper pronounciation of the tonic syllable is very important, and in this case the tonic gives each word a very distinct sound.
- tremon 3y agoIt may look nothing like it, but the only letter that really differs is the -c-. The -x is pronounced as -sh and -b- isn't that far removed from -n-, especially in a language with a nasal -a- like Portuguese.
