I can name two: In Malay (not the very similar Indonesian) the "sh" sound is now denoted by "sy" as in "syaitan"= shaitain= Satan. In Old English "sc" denoted the "sh" sound, eg scip= ship. "sch" can sometimes be pronounced as "sh", as in British pronunciation of schedule.

The correct choice is "an 8." In English, the choice between "a" and "an" is determined by the sound that follows it, not the actual letter. Since "8" is pronounced with a vowel sound (i.e., "eight"), we use "an" before it.
Sensible! Hope this helps.

Not exactly. There is a long A heard in both, but the EA in wear is shaped by the following R, called the caret A or AIR sound. The EI pair in eight have a simple long A sound (ay) as in "ate."
a sound is sounded and a letter is written
