English took over a lot of French words, originally written and pronounced like the French words, for example saumon (salmon). Then someone decided to go back to how the words were written in Latin (salmo), but they kept pronouncing it more like the French word.

Oh you must be joking.
There is absolutely zero system in half of French’s letter salad!
