Re: V and W confusion in english by multilingual people

V and W were originally the same sound. Actually, U and V were originally the same sound. Phonetics have changed quite a bit all over the world over the centuries, and one of these is that central and eastern Europe didn't distinguish the same phoneemes as the Romance languages and English.
But, hey, imagine how native Chinese speakers react to westerners who can't distinguish qi from chi or ji from zhi or xi from shi.
