  1. An advantage of English is that it uses Latin alphabet only, without diacritics (except some loanwords from French).

  3.  @evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016  Esperanto is not a true Latin language. It has 60% Latin roots, 30% Germanic roots, 10% other roots and mostly artificial grammar.

  4.  @evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016  French is not a Latin language since it sounds like its own way. Russian is a Latin language since it sounds like Portugese, which is a true Latin language.

  5.  @evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016  The word "nada" (nothing) sounds exactly like Russian word "надо" (it must, it needs). The ending "-a" is typical for Russian feminine nouns, and for Portugal ones too. The ending "-o" sounds like "-u" in Portugal. In Russian this ending apears in the Accuzative of nouns ending with "-a", and in Dative of masculine nouns ending with consonant. Words, ending with "-ia", (Mia, magia, fantazia) are pronounced like /iya/ in Portugal, and they end with "-ия" /iya/ in Russian. Portugal has sounds "nh", "lh" which are similar to Russian "нь", "ль".

  6.  @evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016  What is "spoken properly and clearly"? Spanish has no vowel reduction, Portuguese has vowel reduction as pronounciation of ending unstressed "o" as "u". Russian (standard variant) has vowel reduction as pronunciation of unstressed "o" as "a". And Brazilian Portuguese sounds like Russian sufficiently for hearing some BP phrases like Russian phrases in a movie. The sense is usually different, but sometimes suitable. But it depends on certain pronunciation, because the same letters different actors pronounce differently. One reads "nh" as soft n (ń, ņ, ň, нь, њ), another reads "nh" as two sounds: "n" and "h". The song "Bate forte o tambor" has got a Russian cover "Мальчик хочет в Тамбов" /Mál'chik hóchet v Tambóv/ ("Boy wants into Tambov"). Here brazilian "te" spoken like "che" are reflected in the letter "ч" /ch/.

  7.  @evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016  properly enunciating each syllable - how many syllabes are there in the word "squirrel"?

  8.  @evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016  I didn't say that Portuguese is a Slavic language. I know that Portuguese and Spanish are close. I don't know what is the difference between Spanish j and x in pronunciation. Vowel reduction isn't mumbling. Mumbling is a glitch of an individuum, vowel reduction is a feature of a language or dialect. In standard and south Russian unstressed "o" are read as unstressed "a" (except ending like "io", "ao"), in north dialects it is read as "o", without reduction. I said that Portuguese sounds like Russian, not compreneble. For example, Italian sounds differently: open syllabes are long, close ones are short in all dialects. French sounds very differently because contents sounds like grassing r and many nasal ones, and silent endings up to a half of word. Russian vowels are 5 spanish vowels plus their hard/soft pairs on palatalization. "Ы" is unpalatalizated "И" [i]. Most consonants are equal in Slavic and Roman languages, unlike English. Of course, Russian has consonant clusters like "Monstr vsplyl", which is not obvious in Portuguese. And BP has the sound like English "j", which is absent in Russian. However, there are videos about how somebody attended Portugal or Brazil, and thought that all speak his native Russian or Polish, but it is impossible to understand any word. And vice versa. I read "squirrel" as "skwir-rel" where each letter sounds as is. It has two syllabes. But native English speakers may count other quantity from one to six, usually one. I don't know what does "squirrelled" mean, but this word exists and has one syllable too according their opinion.

  9.  @evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016  You look from Spanish point of view, and it seems that they are mumbling. But they properly enunciate in their own language. We can say that Spanish ppl are mumbling because they don't distinguish b and v. Despite this is normal for Spanish unlike to Portuguese or Russian.
