That's kind of ironic, since Travis is speaking in his Tibeto-Burman language.

I can see how Sino-Tibetan is superficially similar to English, but I can see how it is different as well.

It's so much more important that sounds are used inventively and effectively. Sound choices themselves are merely ornamental robes. Barbarian noises can be brought later.

I just think it is a good idea to put some thought into one's phonology, rather than simply copying another language's phonology wholesale, unless one is trying to create a conlang that is intentionally close to that language.
