I know only one sentence in gaelic: Tiocfaidh ár lá

I don’t know if this is exactly how it works in Irish Gaelic, but in Scottish Gaelic the reason there are so many silent letters is because of vowel combinations, broad and slender consonants and lenition
The Scottish Gaelic equivalent of that phrase would be “Thig ar latha” i think, which funnily enough I don’t think contains any silent letters
