Yes but at the same time german writing system is almost phonetic while french have many way to write one sound.

Maybe in a few hundred year when our civilisation has collapsed a writing reforme will finally happened.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

It is not close to being phonetic. It is however quite consistent which is what you were probably thinking of.

I don't get it. How is phontenic defined then?

[-] iarigby@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I am not sure about the definition of the word but look up Georgian, 33 letters, 33 sounds. Each letter has one and only one sound, which never ever changes despite the position in the word or the surrounding letters

Nice. Is it a germanic langugage?

[-] iarigby@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

no, it is not even an indo-european language, it has its own separate family.
