  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.

    while ignoring that the sound is made at the same place.

    So your argument is that all sounds made in the same place sound the same?

  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.

    Sure, but does that mean F soudns like P?

  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

    Again, does that mean that T sounds like S? Do you often confuse T for S?

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