Turkish is also mostly "WYRIWYP". We like to say that it's pronounced as it is written. As a rule, there are no exceptions in pronunciation, but there are some exceptions to that rule. :) Dialects within the country and in Cyprus use the "Istanbul" Turkish for formal communication, so there exists only one "correct" way to spell each word. But of course, for casual talk and texting, each dialect writes certain words the way they pronounce them. \* One cool corollary of the WYRIWYP rule is that there's only one correct spelling of any given sequence of sounds. If you take some native Turkish speakers and have them listen to a made-up word, 99% of them will come up with the same spelling independently of each other.
