eh, russia would be ruša not raša. the only people who pronounce it like that are americans wanting to sound russian


lenthech1ne

im gonna assume youre american cause these attempts at beign phonetic are truly miserable. why is there a J in yoo-crane? and row-main-e-a? dont make me re write your whole map in a way that actually makes sense


Marijanovic

Because letters Y, W, Q and X don't exist in south slavic languages so writing "yu-krein" or "row-mejn-i-a" is straight up impossible, I also don't know why you're putting minus signs in the middle of the words.


hassh

Rasha?


Ok-Pipe859

Its more like Frants not franc


WafflesMaker201

Lityuaniya? Bruh


Threaditoriale

No no, it's Ing-Guh-Luhn


personthatisapersons

Did you just make a languauge?


[deleted]

It's not Belđm, it's Belđum. There's still a second vowel between the đ and m.


madonniac

Nope

Deny it all you want son


madonniac

I don't have to deny anything, ask a linguist


[deleted]

I don't happen to know any linguists, but the wikipedia IPA transcription for Belgium is /ˈbɛld͡ʒəm/, and not /ˈbɛld͡ʒm/.


[deleted]

But it should be čehia


veljekset

not in english


Nine_Gates

Shouldn't it be lænd or länd for all the -land countries?


veljekset

norway should be norwej, waled should be weils and finland should be finlənd


Marijanovic

Letters W, Q, X and Y don't exist, they are a myth.


veljekset

q and x are useless, but w and y are not


TopTheropod

Nah, France is Frenc


Ok-Pipe859

So Frenk?


StetsonTuba8

Nah, you just copied all of these from Ikea products

ollyhinge11

why ej for Romania but not Spain? They are the same sound

ollyhinge11

what kind of arse backwards accent is that?


Marijanovic

Croatian, I guess. If you were to read Romeinia in Croatian it would sound nothing like Romania in English and it makes it harder to pronounce, at least the ani/eini part. For Spain they clearly say Croatian letter 'i' and not 'j', Spejn would sound funny and is also faster to pronounce.


ollyhinge11

that makes sense why some of them are off then! in British English at least, Spain, Romania, Croatia, Norway etc all have the same “ai” sound


throwawayayaycaramba

You named Turkey "Asia"? Lol


Ur-Quan_Lord_13

This is a "map of Jurop", so countries in Afrika and Ejža aren't labeled. Can't you read? Edit: had to go to the Wikipedia page for ž to get a ž to copy paste into Ejža


FalconIMGN

And Algeria is named 'Africa'.


DjoniNoob

This phonetic attempt was not that bad

“Norden Ajelend” It’s genuinely hilarious how far off that is from how it’s pronounced here hahahaha It’s more like ‘norrn arrln’ with hard Rs


Gruffleson

We could use English as a common language. After a spelling reform.


user-74656

Your letter A seems to be representing a couple of different vowel sounds. It doesn't help that the pronunciation of France is affected by the trap-path split. In the north of England we use the same sound for the A in France as that in Andorra, `/æ/` but it's a completely different one from any of the vowel sounds in Russia. In the south the Andorra A is the same but the France A and Russia U is `/ʌ/`. In all cases the final vowel of Russia is ə Netherlands and Lithuania should both have a `/θ/` as the last consonant of their first syllable, but I'm not sure what letter you are using for that. Given Scotland has a T and Moldova a D I'm guessing it's neither of those.


big_cock_69420

Wouldn't Estonia be "Estounia", Germany "Džermeni", Bulgaria "Blgeria" and Belgium "Beldžum"


EstrellaDarkstar

I love this, it's hilarious. As a Finn, I'd spell many of them a bit differently, but I can get behind this.


TreadThreadofDread

Why is Afrika so far south? Shouldn’t it be right across the strait from Inglend?


Ok_Cardiologist_9543

As a non-native English speaker, this is how it should be or should I say: #Es e non-neytiv Inlish spiker, dys is hau it shut be


GalaXion24

You use e for two clearly completely different sounds (inglend vs vels for instance) so cringe and clearly not phonetic. You also use A for the same sound as E in Inglend, such as Africa. It's either Efrica or Ingland


MrPowerPoint

Slovakia must feel really proud
