It seems that there are a few common types of sounds

  • O-live: English, Basque, Dutch, Czech, etc. Potentially even Albanian and Japanese which kept the "Oh-Lee..." Portion
  • Zay-Toon: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Farsi, the language you are learning

Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:

  • Marathi is listed as "Jai-fa-la", which is still somewhat similar to the second type

  • someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different
