In Ukraine, we sometimes have these discussions about moving to a Latin-based alphabet. Some even try to come up with their version of it.

It always winds up either as something ugly with a lot of diacritics (like Polish/Hungarian) or having a lot of double/triple-letter sounds (e.g. `sh` instead of 'ш', `ye` instead of `є`, `shch` instead of `щ' and so on).

Thanks, but no, I'll take our 33 funny Cyrillic letters over a Latin alphabet.
