Annoyingly, English uses "th" for two rather different phonemes: þ ("thing") and ð ("this").
Icelandic maintains this useful distinction. I feel like English spelling would need at least half a dozen more letters to disambiguate. As it is, English is actually a not great choice for a global language because it's so unphonetic.
