Since I speak German quite well, I don't think I would've known how to pronounce and write down umlauts before I was shown how to. I don't speak Spanish, so I don't know about that. In (some) Slavic languages there is a rule that each character is one voice, but then there are characters you have to learn how to vocalize first, and there are some ambiguous cases as well - letters č and ć for example. Even native speakers can't tell much of a difference for most of the time.
- gambiting 11y agoIn Polish, letters ó and u sound exactly the same. There isn't a single case where using ó instead of u would cause a word to be pronounced differently. It's something that apparently used to make a difference centuries ago,but it doesn't anymore, and nowadays even experts in linguistics don't know how exactly it used to sound. And it's exactly the same with "rz" and "ż" - both pronounced in exactly same way.
