Why don't every language adopt their own alphabet, based

there is like 50,000 sounds in english

>>75190048
>what are dialects?

>>75190195
That's wrong though, there are 44 phonemes in modern english

>>75190048
What's the point if one script works very well with various languages?

>>75190048
what alphabet would the French be using if not for the Romans?

>>75190969
Something where each symbol doesn't have 2+ different pronounciations, where there are no useless double letters and silent letters
An alphabet where 1 symbol = 1 sound that takes liaison into account would be a good start

>>75190969
we are not turks so something older than romans one

>>75190969
Greek
Seriously, Gaulish used to be written with the Greek alphabet because present-day Marseille was a Greek trading post in ancient times.

>>75190048
It might sound like a spectacular idea to a Frenchman, but the Latin alphabet can actually be used in a way that also makes sense orthographically.

>>75192296
This. English and french are the two languages with absolutely worst spelling, so it makes sense if you're only familiar with the two.

>>75192853
Doesn't Finnish have atrocious spelling as well. I've always felt that Finnish would be a language better off with their own alphabet.

Even with their own alphabets, languages still need spelling reforms over time.

see Thai

>>75193098

>>75193145
i don't directly want to say yes, but saying no would be lying

>>75193215
sorry :(

>>75193280
just fyi, finnish orthography is among the most regular ones that you will find
and don't say sorry, makes me feel bad

nah Irish orthography is literally perfect

Language reform, especially concerning English is basically impossible now due to computers.

English is basically frozen it time.

>>75193366
Yeah. There are only couple of expections (such as -ng/-nk), otherwise letters have very straightforward pronounciations.

>>75193391
lol. I've had an internet friend, that wrote quite like that.

>>75191590
So, Greek? There are a few irregularities but once you learn them they will never change their pronunciation and reading greek becomes easy as fuck.
>>75191641
You make no sense.

>>75190868
Definitely not the case with polish language

>>75192296
This
If you exclude the "x", everything in Spanish is pronounced exactly as it is written

Did you know?
* Korean Hangul wasted Unicode table.
actually some symbols are never used by common Koreans.

*Korean failed to use it in phonetic correct.
Single phonetic sound is noted into different symbols
Suc as 입(ip) 잎(ip)

>>75199614
the job of unicode was never to be efficient, but to encompass all characters, even the uncommon/unused ones

>>75198134
Actually one can always predict Polish pronunciation, just by seeing a word, while it's obviously not a feature of Russian - you write "yabloko"/"яблoкo", but you read "yabloka", you write "siegodnia", but you read "sievodnia", you write "moloko" but you read "malako" etc. etc.

Even Cuneiform is part of unicode now

Greek and french don't have the same sounds though, and possibly not the same number of sounds too. I guess you could add some accents over some symbols to make new ones, but then you might as well make a new alphabet.

>>75200178
Well, it's quite useful for editors since many new tablets are described and published constantly each year.

>>75199614
By the way Unicode have Katakana Japanese never uses due to Ainu language.
