Simple, Welsh doesn't have a letter K as C is always hard. Not all vowels are used as in English and some consonants become vowels. Y would be used for U (or sometimes for I) as U has a long E sound. A single F is a V so you need two FFs for an F.
And if you think that's complicated, Gaelic orthography is even worse!
