So, in Malawi, there's this interesting thing that happens with Rs and Ls where they tend to get swapped. So when I was walking in the market with my dear friend Calorine, we came across this awesome chip shop.

Interesting, I wonder if they're interchangeable then. In Tagalog (and probably other Filipino languages), d morphs to r when conjugated, and people are inconsistent in practice about that. I wonder if Chichewa has something similar, but with r and l.
