Czech also did a great job of this (unfortunately the word Czech itself seems to come to English through the some other spelling system). A few years ago I tried to learn a bit of the language before travelling to Prague, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to learn to read and write.
- danielam 9y agoPrior to changes introduced by Jan Hus (in this case, the introduction of the háček), Czech shared digraphs that are still used in Polish. "Cz" is was ultimately replaced with "č". It is possible that the archaic form somehow made it into English and survived (though my sources tell me that the spelling has only been present in English since the 17th century, or after Hus' reforms).
