Apparently Japanese tend to add even more vowels at the end of works and to break up English clusters of consonants than Koreans do, which is saying a lot (ie my kids mock their public school english teacher for saying noh-tu-bu-ku for notebook).
In the Civ3 on-topic, Aneeshm waves an Indian flag. I'd assume he's really Indian. Also, there is a guy called Rush in the on-topic who seems to be from Japan, although I've seen him float another flag (Singapore?) last time I've seen him.

The people complaining about this may be not quite understanding something ^_^ The Japanese language includes a lot of import words, and a lot of them are from English. However, the Japanese language is structured differently than English; the only stand-alone consonant is n. Which, of course, means that the vast majority of their words will end in vowels, including imported ones. This is also probably where they're getting the breaking up cnosonants bit from. Almost no Japanese words will have more than two consonants in a row (three would seem possible, but I don't know of any off-hand). Considering the language is based on sylables rather than individual letters, this shouldn't be surprising.

Mumbai is its new name, however most locals would call it Bombay still. There is a real love hate relationship with the new name. Younger people tend to like it, older ones don't .

Its not surprising, it just makes for badly-pronounced English. Korea is similar but not quite so bad since it has some syllables that are Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (although only certain consonants seem to turn up at the end of syllables) so Koreans aren't quite as bad in this regard as Japanese.
