    That’s actually exactly how it works and how language evolves…foreign words are absorbed into a language, adding the new pronunciations to itself. There’s already a ton of English words that are either directly from foreign languages or heavily inspired by them, including their pronunciation and spelling.

      But that’s not what we’re talking about. It’s extremely extremely rare for a language to adopt a new written character.
