I created this sheet[0] to tech my kid to learn Tamil using Roman letters and in the process figured it could be useful for kids learning other Indian languages as well.
With the history of reading and speaking (Indian) phonetic languages, I think, English would've been much nicer and uniform if the vowels sounded right, esp the long forms.
Extending the long forms using orthogonal vowels probably made it complex, especially with the lack of ii and uu.
Say for instance, to extend the long form of "o", "a" was used. Eg: boat, goat. The correct spelling could've been boot, with the original boot spelled as buut.
With that notion, door is probably the only word that's written and pronounced phonetically correct, with two oo.
Curious to know how would such correct phonetic translation aid in the encoding, matching and compression.
