It would be easier to learn if English was written by something like cyrillic, so you wouldn't have to memorise both the pronouncation and writing.
But then it would look more like Chav slang or Ebonics lol.

Russian orthography isn't phonetical too. We have digraphs and etc, for example cч in "cчacтьe" (hapiness), or тc in "coвeтcкий" (soviet).

Are rules in Scots so complicated too? Or they are more simple, at least a bit? I know that Scots can have diacritics.

This is why Croatian rules supreme.
When you learn the alphabet, you basically know how to pronounce every single Croatian word.
