I was wondering why my name , Arthur, is pronounced so differently in Japan. Supposedly, they say Aasaa or something like that.
I understand that the TH sound is not in the Japanese language, but what about R?
Ra, ri, ru, re, ro?
Take words like 'arata', 'aruite' and 'ataru'. Take the sounds of those words and you can come up with 'Aruteru' , 'Arateru', 'Arteru' or 'Aataru' which to me sounds more like Artur or Arthur than Aasaa.
Maybe it's just me. :?
