  RE>6.1756, Disc: Phonemic Spelling
How about Dutch and Czech, whose spelling systems are phemonenally loyal to
their languages' pronunciations?  (and what about Hebrew?)

Definitely not Modern Hebrew, where many distinctions are not marked
in the script at all.  Czech I think poses some of the same
difficulties as Polish in the case of morpheme boundaries and foreign
words (as does Dutch).  For those Dutch speakersd who have two
distinct "short-o" phonemes, that is not marked in the spelling
either.  Offhand, that's all I can think of.
