Right. At least щ, ь, and ъ I don't think have any Latin analogue (native english speaker here who has studied Russian a decent amount).
A good way to illustrate the difference is to try to Cyrillicize Latin script.
Дринк and Drink are just not pronounced the same way.
Chinese speakers just make up names for Western stuff entirely because it can't be said. McDonald's is Maidanglao.
- Shorel 4y agoThis also has more to do with the quirks of English pronunciation than something particular to Latin scripts. Like Mercedes having each e pronounced differently. It's madness. An example: Limonada in Spanish and Лимонада in Bulgarian sound the same, and mean the same.
