Fun fact about Italians (Destiny)

They don't like words to end in a consonant and are extremely averse to syllables with consonant clusters at the coda. Italian has these exceptionally rarely, so when speaking foreign languages they often unconsciously insert a vowel to solve this problem.

That leads to the most distinctive part of an Italian accent, the schwa at the end of words. It'sa me, Mario!
