Transliteration *may be* horrid indeed (especially in case of Arabic). However, audio recordings can solve this issue.
The algorithm was chosen to make people from all over the world learn words quicker.
If so why limit the number of source languages to 6?
Russian is no longer among first 6. There is probably Bengali or Indonesian instead of it.
And do those 6 languages really represent the majority of the population of the planet?
The most trustworthy answer is the following.
If adding more languages changes the resulting sounding then 6 languages are not enough.
