      @@wellshit9489 Might as well say the same thing about German and French, with dialects like Swiss, Austrian and Belgian. English inconsistency stems from diverging vulgates, the difference being that almost every country on Earth has a significant English-speaking population with its own dialect that is not entirely like any other country's, with the country most associated with English ironically being America despite arguably the most "academically correct" form of English being from... England, while German and French only have a few significantly different dialects each (though Spanish has many that diverge wildly even within Spain not to mention the radically different way American Spanish is pronounced, and Italian probably has the greatest diversity in pronunciation per square mile where it is spoken of any language). And that just about covers every "major" European language in the current year except Russian, though the argument could be made that since they are largely interintelligible the various slavic languages are more Russian dialects than Swiss German is a German dialect (though Swiss _Standard_ German is largely interintelligible with German German).

  • @elijahbuscho7715

    Quick tip for native English speakers, when you see ei, or ie in a German word, you pronounce it by saying the second letter in English. In other words, "ei" sounds like the letter "i" or the word "eye", and "ie" sounds like the letter "e". For example, mein is pronounced in German like mine in English, and it's the same sound in Einstein, and Leibniz. Whereas Riemann is pronounced like the letter E in english

    Some of these feels like more of an accent issue. I am Danish which is a Germanic language so I naturally get most of these more or less right, and I cringe when people say "youler", but I've found that some of the others depends on which language I am speaking. As part of a Danish sentence I will say Planck and Heisenberg correctly, but as part of an English sentence I tend to say the ones you called wrong here. It just feels clumsy to use the Germanic sounds in the English sentence. I've noticed I even do it with my own name. I will say Kasper with an English accent when adressing someone in English.
    My point is I think there is a difference between simply changing a vowel a bit to match the language (Planck, Heisenberg), and completely mangling the name into something unrecognizable (Youler, Wheeler).

    Interesting. I learned math in Brazil and here we tend to pronounce german names with less modification. Maybe because Portuguese didn't have the vowel shifts that English had, and we have less difficulty with some german consonants which are tricky for Americans (the rolling R, the aspirated sounds, etc)
    It's strange that someone who speaks a Romance language have less difficulty to pronounce German names than people who speaks English, which is a Germanic language.
