Brazilian Portuguese speakers change ‘t’ and ‘d’ to ‘ch’ and ‘j’ respectively before ‘i’ and ‘e’ sounds. For example, the word ‘de’ meaning ‘of/from’ is pronounced more like ‘juh’.

This happened in Japanese too, where the original “ti, tya, tyo” became “chi, cha, cho”! These are all types of palatalisation, which is one of the most common types of sound change across languages.

Dr Geoff Lindsey has a fantastic video on the related phenomenon of why the <t> in statue is pronounced like a “ch” and why English people pronounce tube as *“choob”

The important takeaway here is that it took a long time before it was actually good. They had to try a bunch of different sorting algorithms before they found one that really worked and let you see your small subs just as much as your big ones.

It might take a while here too unfortunately.
