我不是強者,anyway...According to the text we can see certain rules of it.1~5 are the names of ethnic groups; and 6~10 are the names of their languages.(廢話到此為止~哈哈)The rule is -- the native speakers put [in] behind the first consonant of each group's name to make a new word which means it's own language.  (That's why they use [ininglis] but not [iinnglis] in case 2.)But if we look into 4, it should be [ilinokano] but not [inilokano] if we follow the rule above. So we can just assume that is a exception. However, they do add [in] to represent the names of the languages.基本上我把範例四視為例外,其餘的都是在1~5的第一個子音單字後面加"in"來代表...文~(雖然4也有"in"不過是放在字首)

其實這一題並沒有所謂的例外喔

只要把規則定為"在原本ethnic name的第一個母音之前加"-in-"即可便成該ethnic的language name"

這樣就全部都包括進去了
