Not a good example: “ t” is pronounced differently in tank, mother, matter, notion , theater ( two different sounds), thistle ( one is altogether silent), thus, city, natural, not pronounced at all, and then there are other blasted exceptions:-)

I strongly suspect that multiple languages of India have their peculiar phonetic differences, rules and exceptions.
