Is there research supporting that (specifically in reference to native literacy rates)? Would be curious to see it.

I remember reading it in something semi academic many, many years ago, so you'll have to google it.

I think it was linked to dyslexia and languages with spelling and maybe japanese, and how china simplified it's characters led to higher literacy, although that might have a few confounding variables.
