  Well it is close, though.

  It’s really not though?

    That’s not a valid comparison at all, and it’s not pedantic to point that out no matter how preemptively you claim that it is.

    Bilapial ≠ lapiodental! It’s not that hard to understand.

    The entire similarity between K and the German Ch is based on them both being velar (and unvoiced). You’re crafting a strawman by focusing on the “fricative and plosive” manner while ignoring that the sound is made at the same place.

    S and T are almost a better comparison because they’re both technically alveolar, but that ignores the fact that S has a dental component. Try making a T sound and then an S sound without moving your teeth. It won’t work.

    That’s like saying F is close to P

    Korean for example doesn’t have an F sound, a lot of loanwords that have an F sound use P instead, France turns into Prangseu and coffee to copy.

    In Dutch, a T is sometimes pronounced S

    Politie (police) is pronounced polisie for example

    In the word politiek (politics) it remains a T sound

    Democratie -> democrasie

    Etcetera

      You find that in a lot of european languages, even in English almost everything that ends in -tion is pronounced -shon.
