@arcana @lucy @meso I agree the “ch” as “ch” is why it’s not so obvious how it’s pronounced. For example, archiectomy (the act of uninstalling Arch Linux from your computer) would definitely be pronounced with the “ch”

@arcana @lucy @meso Yeah I was thinking “orchard” as an example where it would be “ch”. I used to forget which of “orchard” and “orchid” had the “ch” and which had the hard “k” (from Greek chi) - so I don’t feel like it’s that intuitive without knowing the etymology

@arcana @meso "it's greek" so is half of your language and anglos are excellent at transforming native pronunciation of loanwords to fot in phonetically into their language so what's the problem??

@arcana @lucy @meso also latin script based languages use diagraphs and that and other things cause everyone to use it differently

Compare brahmic scripts which have remained very consistent in comparison

@lucy @arcana @meso Not true. Greek roots in English words are uncommon outside of scientific / medical terms. Most English roots are Latin or Germanic. Schools emphasize teaching “Greek and Roman roots” because they want to prepare students for the advanced words (e.g. for standardized tests)

afaik tibetan uses some symbols for the nearest frictative (or whatever it's called?) sound that is found in sino tibetan afaik, it's roighly compatible with hindi consonants with a dot?

@lucy @arcana @meso

i mean reliance on diagraphs or changing the value of a symbol vastly changes the pronunciation

like consider ch which also acts like kh
