I think most non-english names written with the alphabet uses latin pronunciation. All the letters will always sound the same regardless of the word, unlike a lot of english words. CMIIW

for example the vowels
A = ah (-h)
I = ee
U = oo
E = a
O = oh (-h)

Some people can get fat even eating what would be considered a normal diet because their stomach bacteria consume much less than those of other people. This is also a problem because many biosynthetic processes in humans are carried out by said bacteria, causing these people to be fat and malnourished simultaneously. It's an underdiagnosed disorder because most doctors don't even account for it, they just assume you're fat because you're lazy and overeat.
