Why

the sounds are easy

im thinking of it too desu, would help to read porno doujinshi

>n̠ʲihõ̞ɴ
>implying i can read that

Baka desu! The name "Japan" came from the Portuguese. Do you really think China is called China in Chinese?

Rather than "the sounds are easy" it's more like "there aren't many of the sounds, and it's easy enough to get a passable sound"

If you actually want to sound native it's much harder

do you really think that russia is called russia in russian

My point exactly.

All you need to know is that /ɴ/ is pronounced by stopping airflow through the vocal tract momentarily by touching your uvula (dangly thing at the back of your throat) with the back of your tongue and rerouting the air through your nose while activating your vocal cords.

No, but there's no uvuvular nasal sound at the end of it.

Why do people get scared by compounds? They're perfectly logical and understandable.

Why even have separate words if you're going to mush them all into compounds? Becauseitstotallyeasytoreadshitthiswayimeanwhywouldanyonefindthissortofretardationannoying

Sure, it gets annoying if you exaggerate it. Compounds are mostly used for words that in English consist of common descriptive phrases. If you look at such a common word, you quickly recognize what it means without reading letter by letter.
