German is frustrating for its underuse of diacritics - e.g. tetragraph "tsch" representing a single sound, similar for "sch". In Czech, these are č and š respectively. Polish has similar issues, resulting in the infamous "spilled letters" orthography.
- gsich 3y ago'Q' could be used for that in German. Rename all other words.
- The_Colonel 3y agoQ has a different pronunciation - e. g. quasi, Quatsch...
- gsich 3y agoYes. Can be changed to make space for a sch-letter. kwasi, kwatsch.
- The_Colonel 3y agoChanging the pronunciation of an existing letter seems ... unnecessary. German already has diacritics, it can simply adopt more of them.
- gsich 3y agoIt has been done before. Diacritics suck, German does not use them thankfully.
