Try French: same written word pronounced differently depending on its meaning - that might only deduced from context, differently written words pronounced the same - and having different meaning, obviously… and there’s always poetic license if you wish to muddle things a bit more!
as a french who learn english, i confirm french is just an horrible language to learn : too many rules, exception, accent…
English is not perfect and could be simplified though.
