Italian and norwegian is the only languages in Europe that actually pronounce words as they are written

Norway here. I had a three week holiday in Italy last year and i had a blast learning and using the language. The one thing that stood out to me was that words are spoken as they are written.

As I’m sure you italians know that this is not the case at all in the rest of europe. France, Spain, Portugal, Try to learn those languages is like "pronounce half the word and then sperg out on the last half or the first half depending on the sentence"

When i went to Italy it was so refreshing to hear the language actually sound the way it is written. And the rolling "r" we also use in Norway. There is actually no phonetical sound in italian that is not used in norwegian.

So across a vast sea of stupid gutteral throat stretching languages from south to north i think Italy and Norway should be Allies in how languages should be done.

I’m not sure if a youtube link is allowed but mods this is an example of why norwegian also sounds as it is written https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuruvcaWuPU
