> English, on the other hand, has no diacritics, and therefore the Latin alphabet seems like a perfect fit. English as commonly written using the Latin alphabet is objectively an awful fit, because one cannot tell how a word is pronounced from how it is written. One has to memorize the proper pronunciation of hundreds (if not thousands) of words beforehand in order to correctly read a text aloud. Almost all languages have a few words like that (usually at least some loanwords), but English is quite extreme compared to languages like German, where pronunciation can be trivially inferred from spelling in almost all cases. So even if written English doesn't have diacritics, it certainly could use some to give readers more information on how something is supposed to be pronounced.
