æ cæn totally be used in English for the “short” a. Thæt’s the sound it’s used to write in Danish and Norwegian, ænd in the Internætional Phoenetic Ælphabet, which is used by linguists to precisely trænscribe speech.
I’m not sure about ø, though. It’s often used to write a sound thæt’s like the “e” in bet, but with your lips rounded like you’re pronouncing “oo” in boot. We don’t hæve thæt sound in English, unfortunately.
Isn’t ø just the Danish/Norwegian equivalent of the German ö?
In any case, it could be used to disambiguate words with different o sounds; i.e., “polish” (to shine a surface by rubbing) from “Pølish” (from Pøland).

More like a schwa in Norwegian. I’m not sure about Danish.
The u in burn comes pretty close to an ø.
