Never thought of it that way.
There is a theory that says that french canadian/english pronounce french word the way it was back in the past. Modern french pronunciation tends to sticks to the book (pronounce every syllables) since the XVIIIth century.

because the u in eugene is not as a u, it is as a w. Russians don't have that letter and the closest one is v. There is a alternative transliteration: Юджин (yudjin) which is more phonetically close. it's the same in that we call Iosef Stalin joseph stalin even though such a 'j' sound is nonexistant in russian

typical colonial cope
it's no surprise an analogue of this opinion is held in the usa regarding english

>Americans unironically don't know how to pronounce "Mayor".
Do you, Yas Forums?

People from the USA think that they pronounce english in its original form ?

yeah
it's how ex colonials cope with having their own state but not their own language
one of many such identity issues surrounding the anglo colonies

who here /tj/ and /dj/ into /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ coalescence

First I've heard of that. Might be why some Old French words in English are so different. When they keep spellings which reflect the originals + change over time they're barely recognisable, the others might've gotten hypercorrected into similar forms as Modern French. Sometimes too corrected as you see with h in herb.

Not even close. Most French words were added fashionably in the late middleages to early modern. Actually these ones are quite different to what we use now. Read Chaucer, the composition is weird. In the cases where we'd use a native word he uses a French one in a way alien to us. I think the later language specialises words a lot more than at this time where it was just exchanging synonyms for fun. And it's only in the 19-20th century when the bulk of the population began using them. No impact on phonology or grammar. Just stylish replacements, standard education, and aping upperclasses for social mobility. Now saying English is a (kinda) creole of Danish Old Norse and a dialect of Old English might have some weight although the languages were so similar that it might not apply. There's also the influence of Celtic languages to consider. Celticspeakers would've had to learn Old English.

rip american nonrhotic dialects.

you should be asking why they dont write it lefttenant, brainlet retard subhuman european nigger faggot

i'm going to bash your head in mutt

have to be honest lads life's too short for me to care about this shit

meanwhile anglos are unable to find any cope for being cucked and usurped by their former colony lol

why do you post on Yas Forums then ?

Time distorts things. Language is not an exception. Knife, you don't prononce the "k". Maybe because they got tired of saying the whole word.

Lew-tenant is the faggot French pronunciation.

Stop being a faggot, America.

It's usually the other way around in Slovene. The western dialects turn v into u and eastern dialect turn v into f at the end of words. It's just ease of use, people found it easier to pronounce the sound with a different one and it stuck. It's the same with g at the end of a word, there are some who replace it with h and others who replace it with k. The latter is closer to the "original" pronunciation but h rolls off easier.

There is no point in explaining, this dumb yank probably thinks that the English just made up their language on the spot

not at all

Doing things the right way is considered faggot now?
Are you retarded or something ?

"U" was invented in 16th century
Prior it was written like "V"

mental how the british upper class was either french or desperately wanted to be french for almost a thousand years

>pronouncing both the h and the r in herb
