@@Aadrian7 i mean “tricky” in terms of “what language group does it belong to”.

I’m not even talking about “what language is it exactly” cause ofc for someone who doesn’t know the vocab it will be hard to differentiate those languages.. but with Romanian, people don’t even know where to start because they do hear the words and might recognise the similarity to other Latin languages, but they still get confused by the accent, which to someone who doesn’t speak Romanian or any slavic language, it does sound rather “eastern European”.

@@polinakovbenko Italian and French are linguistically related as well. And some words in some of these romance languages are the same, and are pronounced the same, but sound a bit different due to the accent. It's not hard to understand why someone can't determine what language Romanian is especially when ones ear isn't used to hearing it spoken often if at all. English is known and spoken worldwide. Romanian? Not so much. Hell, a British person would have trouble understanding what someone from Louisiana is saying although they're speaking the same language. Linguistics is complicated.

HipHipJorge ! I haven’t heard anyone call themselves “Spanish”, but rather “Spanish-speakers”.

[@Anana315]

HipHipJorge ! I don’t know if it’s a regional thing to say that. I don’t think so. But I’ve heard it so many times on social media. People saying “she’s spanish” when the person is Dominican for example

*speaks obvious Scandinavian language that doesn't sound anything like a Russian accent* Americans: "I'm going with Russian."

Now I get why the Russian bad guys in the John Wick movies are portrayed by Swedes

[@joanyou6254]

It's not obvious to people never exposed to the language🤦🏾‍♀️

[@jennykhenven3058]

Russian accent? You mean Russian language?

[@Gullimann2]

@@joanyou6254 Exactly my point? I was obviously pointing out that Americans on average seem very uneducated.

[@Gullimann2]

@@jennykhenven3058 I understand the confusion. What I meant was that Swedish sounds nothing like the accent a Russian would have when speaking English in terms of pronunciation, thus making it confusing why they would think Swedish was Russian. In other words, Swedish doesn't sound like a language that would produce a Russian-esc accent.

"sounds Spanish but we're talking Europe so I'm thinking Portugal" wtf?

[@manoelacalabresi3732]

[@tylerreni8466]

True, but the accent is heavy and super easy to miss for a non-bilingual American

She pronounced it like "Portugaw"
