> at no time in Hindi can you have a different pronunciations from how the word is written (cache, knowledge, repertoire...) You can also never have a word pronounced differently in different tense (for example, Read.) Furthermore, there are no words to my knowledge which sound the same but have different written spelling! (Write, Right, Rite.)
Slavic languages are generally like this. Almost 100% phoenetic. If you can say the alphabet, you can read anything out aloud and everyone will understand what you’re saying.
Unsure if there’s even such a thing as a Russian or Serbian spelling bee.
Family that has moved from there to North America generally have atrocious spelling in English.
And when I read/speak (bad) French, people think I must be Russian because I default to over pronunciation of everything.
