Finally, I was conteplating of posting this myself. I am not quite
sure how Polish, Chech, Slav, ... and others work but Serbian is
possibly the simplest in this regard, since it is 100% phonetic. You
write what you say, and you read what is written.
For example there is never an occurance of double letters in *any*
words. ie. "tutte" would be written "tute". Or another example, my
name is Aleksandar as opposed to Alexander.
