Not only does my name begin with a C, but my astrological sign, religion and favorite holiday as well. Also my favorite party game (which I've never played).
Neither Celeste nor incest can be adequately.. felt without a C. I mean Seleste? Insest? Gross.

In italian the letter Q is actually useless. No word would present ambiguity in prononciation or meaning by replacing each Q with a C. We keep it 'cause it's cute and because book of Ecclesiastes is oft called with its hebrew name Qoelet in Italian bibles (I know it seems like a silly reason, but the Vatican wants that letter in our alphabet to control our minds).

Y(consonant) absolutely.

"year" must be jear.
"you" must be jou.
All french gay j words like "journal" should have their J added with some additional marks like hacek or ^. Or simply use "zh, dsh, dsj or dj".

Y(vocal) is allowed for Greek loanwords.

Languages with a phonetic writing system usually have less (or as much) symbols than they have sounds. Some languages, like italian and japanese, have comparatively fewer sounds, so there is less room for confusion. English for a foreign learner presents a lot of difficulties because a letter is not pronounced always the same (especially vowels) and there are lot of situations where a word is read differently than how is written (like business wich reads like buisness or be-sness and not like bu-si-ness). And the 'th' sound (as in path) is a nightmare for italian learners, but I digress.

It's not actually so. It's just because others have to learn English and they don't realise how unphonetic their own languages are, just as English-speakers often don't as they've, through trial and error, somewhat adjusted to its intricacies.

Yeah, Spanish speaker here. My language has five vowel sounds (a:a, e:e, i:i, o:o, and u:u), concise, right? while English has like 12 or 14. The oo in shoot is different from the oo in book, the u in buck is different from the u in unique, etc.

Yes. Greekfag who speaks some German here, learning English can be a fucking pain in the ass for children because of how inconsistent it is, while in greek the pronunciation of every letter is consistent. Apart from the obvious stuff like how many letters can be silent and how letters like E switch between "ee" (as in feel) and "e"(as in fell), there are some less obvious stuff. For example the words "Understand" and "Amazing" both begin with letters which produce an "ah" sound, but the U "ah" is pronounced a bit differently from the A "ah", while in greek there is only one way to pronounce the sound "ah", with a singular letter, Alpha.
I imagine German students experience similar problems since German is a consistently phonetic language, and I've seen greek students who had learned German first and English later have more problems with pronunciation, since they try to pronounce words phonetically consistently.

In portuguese is 100% W, Y and K. Those letters just entered in our alphabet in 1990 (Portugal) and 2009 (Brazil). There's no 100% portuguese words with them, only foreign words, their variations and proper names.
K always sounds like QU or C
Y always sounds like I
W always sounds like V or U
(in portuguese pronunciations, of course)

Fun fact: i became literate b4 the change so sometimes i confuse where i should put W and Y in the alphabet arrangement
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Ç isn't considered a letter as Ñ in spanish even tho we have a special key to it in the keyboard
