Most slavic languages probably don't have spelling contests - what you say has mostly exact textual representation, except some letters that can sound alike when spoken.

    The more I learn about other languages the more I realize that most languages do that. English probably also did that before it became mixed with french

    Very interesting! I vaguely recall having once seen an infographic explaining how to read cryllic in very little time ages ago, and if it's that rigid with pronunciations and such I can see it being that easy to pick up.

    As opposed to English, where you might cough and hiccough while the borough's favorite dough-maker ploughs through the field.
