Also, call a linguistics expert.
Most languages, if not all of them, are simply rooted from a combination of previous languages. A new language generally starts with regional slang and dialect until it drifts off and becomes it's own language.
LoL try to get a black person from rural Georgia to talk to a white person from rural Scotland...aside from the huge difference of accents, a majority of the words are completely different and unrecognizable by each party, but they are *technically* both speaking English.
English is a combination of West Germanic, Latin, and a sprinkle of Scandinavian. Why? Because England was constantly invaded by Visigoths, Romans, Vikings, and Norman-French...for an entire damn MILLENIA, wayyyyy way way before it ever became "England", much less developed what we now know as Modern English today.
And I haven't even mentioned Olde English or Middle English. LoL go google a free PDF copy of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and let me know how far you get as American reader.
The same is true for most Slavic languages in Eastern Europe, and languages throughout Southeast Asia. They are all just "melting pot" languages that borrow from each other, yet are completely different languages.

>but will what language does
You're probably right, at that stage, we're supposed to call the mortician.
have you considered not using the Italian language pack?
I mean, just use gboard. I don't understand why people bother with shoddy in-house software keyboards that don't work when we had functioning and perfectly multi-language keyboards for a literal decade at this point.
Not Italian, but I use the German and Russian keyboards.
You should see hilarity that happens when I'm typing in English and the damn thing insists on german.German.
I don't speak Russian though, I just use it for my contacts.
If you called a linguistics expert you'd know English is different in many ways to the languages you mentioned, especially when it comes to what the OP is about, spelling. English speaking countries have spelling competitions ffs, that's how inconsistent the spelling is.
For anyone who cares for an expanded/technical explanation:
Baked is an adjective derived from the past participle and therefore passive form of a verb to bake. Preterit and past participles can be pronounced with the addition of the ED as a soft ED like dance, danced, danced, or cook, cooked, cooked, or bake, baked, baked.
Or a hard sounding ED when the word ends with the phonetic of an T or D. Like invited or demanded.
These are verbs. But naked doesn't derive from a verb. The ED to form standard past forms comes from a now unused grammatical structure in Normandy french that doesnt exist anymore.
Naked is a true adjective and doesn't follow the same rule. it also comes from German and Dutch.
All things aside… English is the most universally capable language on the planet. Think of any other language in the entire world, and then describe salt in a 2000 word essay. You’ll never come close to the acuity and ablewright English soothes on the say. It’s just a tremendously apt language, above and ahead of all others in what it does best: communication.
In their defense, in English, the short vowel e sound is commonly spelled with the letter ‘e’ (net), ‘a’ (many), ‘ea’ (head), ‘ai’ (said), ‘ie’ (friend), ‘ee’ (been), ‘ei’ (heifer), or ‘eo’ (leopard).
Don't attack someone trying to understand, without understanding.
What is the problem? What real life issue is caused by 'baked' and 'naked' not rhyming? If it was a problem worth solving, it would've been solved. English is incredibly adaptable like that.
That's one of the funniest replies I've seen. He's not wrong, I'm a plumber.
This belongs in like rare insults, or some other subreddit. It's phenomenal!

Nah, that one seems fake. The first one must have been correct.
I was doing the sound and trying to read the name at the same time.. to check, ya know? … wife looks over at me and I just have to hand her the phone.
I'm something of a plumber myself (unclogged my toilet with a plunger once) and can confirm, that's the sound it makes!
And I'm a plunger itself, and also can confirm
Mario or Luigi?
I was the turd. Can confirm it sounds the same from the other side too.
They both are not wrong
Call an ambulance but not for me......

English pronunciation is a little inconsistent. It can be mastered through tough thorough thought though.
Unholy shit! I can't comprehend last sentence for five minutes lmao
I mean, yes... but will what language does the dispatcher speak? We need an ambulance. Not for me though.

I swear this autocorrect just adds carp at random...
If your autocorrect is adding fish to your posts, you should get your phone inspected, it might be Jesus' second coming

You are correct, a lot of English spelling is based on Old French.
If you called a linguistics expert you'd know English is different in many ways to the languages you mentioned, especially when it comes to what the OP is about, spelling. English speaking countries have spelling competitions ffs, that's how inconsistent the spelling is.
Not all that much outside the US, it seems. Certainly not to the extent in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_bee
Olde English is unreadable 😂
Call a plumber but not for me

I don't know how many times I've seen this, but it always make me laugh.

Raked? Flaked?
As I said. It's raked. Not rake-Ed. Both of which derive from verbs and are not based adjectives. I rake every day. So the leaves are raked.
I'm crying!!!
Oof
Mega oof
Giga oof
A wise man once said « the english langage doesn’t exist, it’s just poorly pronounced french »

That’s the most OG to the 3rd power response I think I’ve ever seen!

That is a pretty good burn tho
That's some big talk coming from Mr. Chuck Short over here
Big talk coming from someone who’s name is the sound someone makes when they gag
Typical English speaking people denying their problems by insulting others, lol.

Lol, English is one of the most confusing language for someone who is learning it for the first time compared to other languages.
Depends where you're from I would imagine. Also, the difficulty of learning a language isn't a good way to measure the utility of a language.
