Bengali catches AI on the you it chooses: tui, tumi, and apni each carry a different closeness, and the model picks wrong. Its script handling can wander, and phrasing from Bangladesh and West Bengal is not interchangeable, though it often treats them as if they were.

Tagalog trips AI on the verb focus system and on the po and opo markers that carry respect. It handles the natural mix of Tagalog and English awkwardly and reaches for stiff, formal phrasing where real conversation code-switches freely, which a native speaker catches at once.
Russian trips AI on structure it cannot fake: six cases, verb aspect, and agreement that has to hold across a whole sentence.
AI produces textbook Italian that still feels off: it forces gender and number agreement mechanically, misses the formal Lei, and leans on wording that sounds translated rather than said.
German gives AI plenty to get wrong: it botches case endings, builds compound nouns no one would actually say, and misses when du should be Sie. Fluent-looking output can still feel mechanical, and only a native ear catches when Austrian or Swiss usage would read differently.
AI writes fluent-looking French that still slips on what natives feel automatically: it mishandles tu and vous, forces gender agreement in odd places, and reaches for wording that sounds translated rather than spoken.

Korean punishes the mistakes AI loves to make: it mixes speech levels, sliding between formal and casual within a single exchange, and drops or misplaces the particles that carry meaning. The honorifics a native speaker chooses without thinking are exactly where the model slips.
Vietnamese is unforgiving of the small errors AI makes constantly: it drops or misplaces the tone diacritics that change a word entirely, and it stumbles over the pronoun system, where the right term depends on age and relationship.
Thai gives AI little room: words run together without spaces, tone carries meaning, and the politeness particles shift with who is speaking.
AI can string together grammatical Mandarin and still read as foreign: it fumbles measure words, reaches for stiff textbook phrasing, and drops idioms like chengyu at the wrong pitch.
Japanese exposes AI quickly: it mishandles keigo, mixing polite, humble, and honorific speech in ways that would embarrass a real speaker, and it fumbles counters and particles.
