I read this in my replied and 100% thought you were being sarcastic about some other comment I've made.
My pleasure, languages are infinitely intriguing.
Like one similar difference you can consider is the differences between languages which use logographic script and language which use phonographic script.
Just like how English struggles with standards of how to pronounce weird names, Chinese would struggle to write it down. As in if I wrote book and all my characters have weird names which don't mean anything but are just weird nouns...
Just like English (and other languages) has to sort of invent or agree on how to pronounce a thing ("gif" vs "jif" anyone?), logographic scripts have to agree how to write it.
