There are too many letters already, there’s nothing c can do that k or s can’t.
Sheese? Kheese?
Tsheese
Tsiis
That’s how it’s spelled in Frisian
I'm in favor of replacing ch with just c, so you'd have a kappakuolo and ceese sandwic. That way, it isn't redundant and we have fewer special cases.
Also, "x" is usually redundant with "ks", so use it for what's currently "sh" to eliminate another redundancy and another special case.
Add back the thorn and eth for "th" and use "f" instead of "ph" and consonants are actually pretty consistent.
But what if i want a keese sandwick? Or are we keeping the k and just ditcing ch?
Hard milk
Q is also entirely useless.
That Q is actively detrimental
I would say there are not enough letters. We have about 12-14 vowel monopthongs, but only 6 letters to represent vowels. No wonder everything's a fucking mess! And that's without even getting to diphthongs.
