Yes, and Korean as well.
Currently I am learning thai where each character have two sounds depending on where in a word it is located. Multiple characters with the same sounds, a few characters which are marked as obsolete (but still in the alphabet) and each word will have a tone based on the groups of characters (which has a "class" assigned to them) and a whole bunch of other "special" characters that change the tone, completely silences a character or repeats something. Seemingly illogical pronunciations when combining other sounding ones (combining a vowel sounding "e" and "aa" will pronounce an "ao" sound).
And I haven't even started on anything but learning how to deal with the alphabet.
