RE: I imagine she’s thinking of Japanese...
Can’t be, she’s making fun of those who can’t pronounce the letter ‘r’.
The Japanese language on the other hand, has no ‘l’ sound.

The Japanese have a sound that's about half way between L and R which they use for both. But it sounds like an L when they are saying R and an R when they are trying to say L.

Although I make the same "rots of ruck" joke, I just imagine what I sound like if I tried some tonal language like Chinese. I can't even get something "simple" like a Spanish trilled R rrrrrright.

Don’t worry they are happy... The Chinese will own Argentina soon enough, if are own debt to them is any indication.
