IE: in true pronunciation we use the letter L in place of the letter R. example is the name Toru, spelt with the R but pronounced Tolu. I would be interested in finding out more on this if possible?? interesting, I speak a Papuan language from papuan new guinea (the gulf area) and through my dealings with Japanese have discovered many similaritys example: names such as Toru, Mori and Satoro. also some words pronunciation is surprisingly similar.

I speak Hindi and I often find it easier to go from Japanese to Hindi than from Japanese to English when understanding a grammar point or translating. I have a few friends who speak Tamil and Hindi and they say the same; there's a good bit of similarity structurally. well that’s interesting to know!
