"you only find things intuitive because you've used them your entire life" is a very important message for quite a lot of people

Clearly Polish should be written with Hangul.

You should do a video about using Cyrillic for Irish. We have the same hard soft consonant distinctions but how our orthography handles is it is by the vowels touching consonants and making them hard (a o u) or soft (i e). And since Irish is obviously not a Slavic language there will be other fun hurdles to overcome like lenition etc

Clearly Polish should be written in logographic scripts, who doesn't love thousands of characters to memorize

[Salv]

All of that so we can differentiate tar-zan from tażan

Technically, it could work just fine, but trust me - Poles would pick Japanese writing system(s) or revert to runes over Cyrillic any day

I think the people arguing that Polish should switch to Cyrillic are mostly non native speakers who are extremely confused by the Polish Latin orthography and find the Cyrillized form way more legible because the letters actually make the sounds they know should make based on other languages that use those same letters.

It's basically a roundabout way of wishing Polish used a more "mainstream" orthography that has more in common with other languages that use the Latin alphabet, such as changing ł > w, w > v, etc.

No my 95 year old grandma from Zadupie Dolne* four miles down the road from the Ukrainian border still pronounces them as 2 separate sounds! You can't just merge them they're totally different! 7:34

"polish should use cyrillic because of palatalization" is boring. what we really need is for irish to use slavic because of palatalization

[GuilhermeBF]

Polish should be written with Chinese characters

[thatotherted]

The Greek-Polish alphabet proposal looks like fun, but also evil. Evil fun?

[Dara-wkty]

There are some native Tatars who wrote Polish in Arabic

[onodera]

Wow, you know someone whose grandma is from Zadupie Dolne? It's a great place if you want to get away from it all and unwind.

"Polish should be written in cyrillic" is an odd way to say that you hate the letter z.

[hermanndusek]

As a Czech I of course support morphing Polish into a Czech clone. After that it's just a few steps before an unholy marriage between our countries

[UnknownUser-oo]

Slavic languages should be written with Cyrillic.

People think Polish is bad when it comes to digraphs/trigraphs.
I am a Swede, allow me:



sj
stj
sk
skj
stg
sc
sch
sh
ch
xi
xj
zh
rs
rz
rsz
tj
dj
hj
gj
lj
gi
ge
gn
ng
rd
rl
rn
rt

Yes, these are all bigraphs/trigraphs, most of which are pronounced exactly the same in modern, Standard Swedish.

[AngryDrake]

You have a remarkably Polish-accent-free English pronunciation.

[polynomialofmanynames]

Writing they yus by hand would be hell ngl

[mohamedyounis]

Clearly Polish should only be written in the Arabic alphabet كورڤا ماچ
