For example a bunch of Asian countries like Korea, Japan, and Vietnam have country names that use Chinese characters. In Japanese you might pronounce it Nippon or Nihon, but in Mandarin you'd pronounce it Riben and in Cantonese you'd say Jatbun because that's just how you pronounce those characters. Yeah this is the best answer really. Don't forget lots of languages have lots of sounds and no languages have all the sounds --- wird <cite>SantaRPidgey posted [p:939462077] in Something ...
