    I feel like ‘chh’ would only count when pronounced as part of one syllable/sound. Which in all your examples isn’t the case. Of course, if someone is not at all familiar with the language they wouldn’t be able to make that distinction. So the chart still wouldn’t be helpful in that case.

      The key point for me is “what am I reading” - where pronunciation doesn’t enter into it.

      This isn’t a guide for spoken, but for written language, so it actually doesn’t matter where the phoneme break occurs, only the grapheme

        But doesn’t reading differ from seeing by actually processing the letters into syllables and words by an internal voice?
