Latin alphabet's main problem is that it doesn't have any fricative consonants (sh ch j...) so every language has to roll out their own in incompatible fashion leading to confusion. Languages using alphabets specially tailored for them have much more consistent spelling.

Latin actually had them I think, they just got lost because romance languages didn't have much use for them, and english famously went proprietary with its great vowel shift.
