I hadn't thought about it, but I think Russian is actually more melodic and varied in sound.Rolled ‘r’ is a very common language trait.
Not sure where you going with the fricatives in regards to pointing out similarities between Portuguese Spanish and Russian?
As for the melody… I cannot understand how it is you find them similar! Russian can be melodic, but it’s not forced in every single sentence the way it is in Portuguese; meaning, it can also be quite subtle in a melodic regard. It’s also way more varied, whereas Portuguese has but a very few melodies (possibly only one) that is used over and over and over and over again (makes it a very monotonous language to listen to, in my opinion).
Agreed!I hadn't thought about it, but I think Russian is actually more melodic and varied in sound.
Wait – no exceptions?That's how we do it in the UK. We've been doing it that way since at least the 18th century, afaik.

I guess she likes the idea of them being similar, because in reality they are nothing but, and consequently placed at opposite ends in my rankings!![]()
