Hmm, almost every says Finnish is the most similar

How about Spanish or Portugues
Are they not so similar with Japanese?
>>
>>60521173
Not at all.
>>
>>60519982
Not memeing, Finnish actually sounds the most similar, at least to me. Other than that, I guess romance languages, since they have simpler sounds than germanics or slavs.
>>
>>60521173
Spanish is read like its written like japanese, but is more "harder" in the mouth than it, many "r's" and hard sounds.
Finnish is more fluid.
>>
Finnish most definitely

It may just be your specific accent, but I guess Finnish.

But normally I'd say nothing
>>
>>60521173
Spanish, like japanese, has these "vowel-consonant-vowel" feature. Also it has the same sounds mostly.

what a stupid and oddly specific question

sage
>>
>>60522355
do sounds so similar even for Finnish?
Few Japanese say such thing
>>
>>60522093
>vowel-consonant-vowel

But Japanese has Consonant-Vowel system, not Vowel-consonant-vowel

And even that is not strictly true, especially in the Tokyo dialect

Where are you from? Maybe north?
I'm not trying to offend you but your Japanese sounds so bumpkin and autist

You are right. I'm a North Japanese
I don't know much about southern Japanese
is it completely different?
>>
>>60522845
>>60523274
Is it true North Japanese has no pitch accent? I can't hear it very well, but it sounds different to me
>>
German is very similar in my opinion. All the same sounds, near identical pronunciation.
>>
>>60523472
A few times I thought the same when i listened to someone speaking japanese. However, for the most time it sounds like a mixture of spanish and finnish for me. Seems to depend on the region a lot.

Also, japanese sounds completely different in songs. I really like the sound of japanese when it's sung, for some reason.
>>
>>60523274
Your "おはよう" and "あったかかった" were clearly spoken with a funny dialect.
They are easily noticeable to standard Japanese speakers like me.

Also you seem to speak with your mouth barely open and do not make rough vowel sounds with your throat vibrated like Kansai people which are typical traits of northern Japanese dialects.

This doesn't count. He talks with a very heavy fake turkish accent.
>>
>>60523427
yes, you are right. and you can listen it clearly i think

This is ibaraki-dialect.

>>60525053
That's interesting, it makes it sound much more continuous than standard Japanese and less bouncy, but maybe less nice sounding.

Since foreigners have trouble with pitch accent, I wonder if they could imitate this dialect more easily
>>

this sounds like finnish/northern japanese

I'm sorry but northern Kanto dialects are the ugliest of all Japanese with no doubt

Japanese people who live in norther than Kanto has Ainu-speaker ancestors.
We spoke Ainu til 1000 years ago, and now speak Japanese with thick Ainu accent
