>>11720676
you mean the french J? we can, we use it in the word 'pleasure' and a number of others

When I learned Russian it made me realize that our J is the French j with a D preceding it, because they have a consonant that is the french J and they gave that example of pleasure to explain it

Might have been easier for me since Ive always spoken french, but it was not like i didnt get what the sound was, we have it in our language isolated from the dj confluence

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 1 21:47:25 2018 No.11720743 >>11720734 I meant the Spanish "j". Here it's always been Don Quijote; you traded the "j" for an "x" because you couldn't pronounce it as we do.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 1 21:49:39 2018 No.11720746 >>11720743 Ok the spanish j, i didnt get what you were talking about because as you say we use Quixote in the title But the spanish j is a kind of h for us right? jesus is like hesus?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 1 21:59:33 2018 No.11720776 >>11720743 Why would we learn foreign sounds? We take whatever words we want and put them into our own phonology. This is the privilege afforded to the greatest language.

serious question: why are spanish posters such pretentious, pompous faggots despite being a generally ugly race and also have significantly lower iq than northern europeans and far worse contributions to global thought than other meds? Is it the weather? are they all self hating latinos?

>>11720743
are you a fucking idiot? Cervantes' spelling is with an 'x', it's Spanish speakers who turned it into a 'j' to match modern orthography.

>>11720746
>kind of h for us right?
Eh, kind of. It's like a harsher 'h' sound, sort of like the ending sound when you say "ughh" out loud.
