Due to globalization, many English words have been adopted into the Japanese language. However, with the exception of ‘n,’ Japanese syllables either consist of a consonant with a vowel or a single vowel. Because of this, vowels are generally added after consonants in English loanwords. Generally, the vowels ‘u’ or ‘o’ are added. For instance, street is pronounced as sutori-to. Recently these English words are used together with conventional Japanese words. Kamera (camera) is used for shashinki now. Japanese words are gradually being replaced by English words.
