Concerning "pronunciation-vs-spelling" the Tibetan script has one of the most (egregious) mismatches.[0][1]
So, relatively speaking, written English is just slightly worse than Hangul.[2]

- thriftwy 4y agoHangeul very nicely reflects how Korean language's syllables change depending on what goes before and after them (phonetic context). In comparison, most of irregularities with English spelling are either caused by extensive word loaning or by language changes that happened too long ago to make sense today. So no, they're not the same.
