It's hard to reason and talk about something until you name it. With named keywords, you already have a name for it, even if you say it different than the English pronunciation.

Unless the script is so foreign to you (ex. Latin vs Arabic) that the keywords look like inscrutable symbols anyway.



For a perfect example, try learning APL without having any background or reference names for its symbols: http://xahlee.info/comp/unicode_APL_symbols.html
