Comment on In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds?

It happens in mine with the same combination of sounds, a case of iotation. Many words which have a “ch” sound in them arose as contractions of “t-y” or “k-y”, which we write as “ć” and “č” respectively.
