Almost there. They could have used a real polish name like Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz?

This is a correct sentence in Czech.

Do the Czechs add at least a few schwas in the middle to make it work?
-
I think we owe the Slavs some vowels.

🤮[TÜRKÇE KUSUNTU SESLERİ]🤮*
/uj : The reason why turkish is relevant is that we have a 99% rule of a sylable must consist of at least one vowel per up to two consonants.

Another classic:
-
They could have just made sh, zh and ch sounds single symbol like other slavic languages that use latin alphabet.
-
We do have some of that though! But to make it harder, sometimes there's both: ż and rz make the same sound, but some words use one and some use the other, to keep you on your toes

so could've English tbf

...it's an old code, but valid, sir...

My favorite polish word is dżdżownica (earthworm). Pronounced j-j-ov-NEE-tsa.
Oh, and dżdży (it rains), pronounced j-j-ih
And before anyone asks, yes, dżdżownica is called like that because it comes out of the ground when dżdży.
We call them "rainworm" too in German
In Dutch also 🙋♀️
As my Polish-speaking mom likes to say, "Would you like to buy a vowel?"
The only polish word I know is kurwa. It must mean "the" or something because I swear when I listen to some of my polish colleges talking it comes up in every other sentence.
you should check out their supermarkets one time. You can learn new words like "zloty" (golden) and "bez" (without).
And Piwo.
The pronunciation is actually not that bad but the spelling is insanely difficult.
Spelling is actually very regular (way more than English), it's just slightly unintuitive for non polish speakers
