    Slavic languages: nothing is silent. We write as we speak. For this we will also write your name as we think it should be written.

    Example: Hju Džekman

      Fun fact, Poles in their infinite wisdom switched from using Cyrillic alphabet which naturally maps to Polish sounds https://www.omniglot.com/conscripts/polishcyrillic.htm

        Huh. NATOpedia tells me that the Latin has always been the predominant script for Polish. But it only traces this back to the 13th century or maybe the 10th, coinciding with the Christianization of Poland. Supposedly it was only a spoken previously, which sounds to me like historical revisionism to erase a Cyrillic predecessor. But if Cryllic only dates back to the 10th century… 🤷

      “Write as we speak”

      The biggest lie of the russian language.

      In theory yes, but pronounciation of о depends on if it has stress or not and stress of the word you have to just know.
