Description
English: In Finland the letter B is sometimes known as the "Royal P." There is no B in the Finnish language, but Swedish has it. Finland was long part of the Kingdom of Sweden, and I think something like 10% of the population still speaks Swedish as their primary language. If you pronounce P and B in succession you'll note your lip movements are extremely similar, but one if voiced and the other is not.

The lack of B leads to some amusing episodes, like when we first met Päivi. We thought her name was pronounced "Bivy" for about a month.

And then you have things like Cafe Scoopy Doo. Ruoholahdenkatu 16, Helsinki, Finland.
