We don’t do silent letters. Life is difficult enough.

Looking at these words and names I really think some silent letters would actually help out

You actually mash the letters together into a sound. So Cz is pronounced like a c and z at the same time.

If the name was real, that is.

I think you need to Czech next door to Poland to find a Cz sound.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Hmm fair.
I was conflating sz with cz

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Polish just uses -z like how English uses -h in digraphs, so sz is sh, cz is ch

Now do rz, ż, ź, dz, dż and dź!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

That doesn't really help 😆
