As a native speaker I wouldn't say very little, but none.
Anyway, I'll better be catious and ask if you know any.
Not saying that Spanish is an easy language to learn, some parts are complicated, but not that one.
If you mean Aztec imported words, I don't know which they are. Maybe you mean the tl consonant group that is not very natural, but neither is zr (as in three) and we just get used to it, when we learn English.
Could "chocolate" be one of these words? It was just adapted, both pronuntiation and spelling.
The problem now is imported. It seems English has no letter for j sound... ahem, the real j sound :) being the h (as in hot) the closest, but way weaker, so when transcribing from other alphabets, like Arabian or Cyrilic, it's written as kh, see Ха́рків.
But the trick isn't working and everybody reads it as a lone k. Also we receive the kh transcription... what a mess :)
As my first grade teacher used to reassure us after each spelling test, “English is no language to teach first graders”
Joke’s on Rosenfelder, since it appears Shaw didn’t come up with ghoti. The evidence, and some other facetious and funny and intentionally horrible but equally justified misspellings: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=81
> English spelling is certainly horrible and irregular, but it isn’t unmanageably irregular.
True! There are harder languages to learn than English. It’s okay to have a little at English’s expense though, right? It’s irregular enough to frustrate non-native speakers and school children, and irregular enough that English seems funny when you compare it to languages that have very little spelling irregularity, like Spanish.
Part of the charm of our language is how weird it is, and how it has mashed and mixed words from other languages. I really like learning bits of other Germanic languages and finding all the cognates we have - words that have similar roots and similar spellings and meanings. There’s a lot of inconsistency in how the spellings have translated, but finding the near equivalents in other languages is often surprising and enlightening.
