> but to my knowledge Czech doesn't attempt to preserve foreign spelling, with e.g. letters Ñ or Ø. Czech adapts spelling to native pronunciation, which is my entire point. In Czech, adapting spelling to native pronounciation (or adapting pronounciation to native spelling) is done for common nouns, but generally not for proper nouns (esp. names of persons) from languages written in (variants of) Latin alphabet. These are either written as is, or (informally) stripped of 'foreign' parts regardless of pronounciation (e.g. Ñ->N, Ü->U, or Ø->O). One exception is feminine suffix -ová added to female last names, as that is necessary for declension.
