Language / Polish language would look better written in Cyrillic Script? [212]
I don't really see much of a problem with Polish using the Latin alphabet. Reading and writing in the language is still for the most part very phonetic. At first glance, Polish looks terrifying because for a native English speaker it looks like someone started smashing a computer keyboard. However, reading goes very smoothly once you practice enough times and most of the time you can pronounce a new word correctly.
English on the other hand is a very orthographically chaotic language. If anything, English would benefit more from a new writing system than Polish would.
