minus-squareLinnce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoIn Portuguese it’s spelled coronel and pronounced just like that, with the R in the middle. I can’t think of a single word where the L and R interchange. I can’t speak for other romance languages though.
minus-squarewander1236@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoI’m not thinking specifically of colonel. There are things with Spanish vs Portuguese like plato vs prato, playa vs praia, etc. Colonel is also actually an example since it uses an L in French but an R in Spanish and Portuguese.
