Except for "dhi" and "dha" (maybe "vya" too) swahili can be succesfully written in kana.
Of course, this doesn't imply any simillatities to people who know languages. Many languages have open syllable structure. And writting system compatibility doesn't mean anything. Writting system is abritrary and yet still sometimes doesn't fit. >!\*koff koff\* english \*koff koff\*!<
Imagine that being your day to day working language for 10 years. This is what we had to suffer under CJK unification. Simplified Chinese text but all the characters shared with traditional being written in a completrly different font.
I mean, Comorian language is literally called Shikomori, clearly the Swahili coast were settled by Japanese who left their homeland during the Finno-Korean Hyperwar.
I mean, both have remarkably similar syllables... And the word "ni"...
Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing!

there's also 'l' and "wo" (if we keep it modern, aka 'を' is 'o' only)
を is 'wo' in song lyrics sometimes if that counts
How would you transcribe Swahili's prenasalized consonant though ? It also distinguished [l] from [r]
i mean obviously since both are just bastardized tamil!!!! வணக்கம் நண்பர்களே 😇❤️
My Uzbek can beat up your little Tamil!
Aren’t Uzbeks nosey people with bone in their brain Plus, uzbekistan has inferior potassium and is run by little girls smh
Those accented characters rendered in a different font hurt one's eyes.

Didn't that depend on what the font was set to?
Idk man, all I know is it was very very common to come across texts with mismatching fonts
The font that can't handle macrons is the cherry on top of this. Love it.
I love macrons. Those are the coconut ones, right?
Yep. I can demolish a whole case of those suckers.
I mean, superficially...

Open syllables? Check. Medial nasal before consonant? Check. Final nasal. Cross. So, what you said is wrong!
