History: Hangul

Source of version: 5 (current)

A Hangul orthography is sheer foolishness, because Hangul doesn't work well for most languages except Korean. ;:You're right in this, pe'i mi'e sanxiyn. !Vowels ||a|ㅏ e|ㅔ i|ㅣ o|ㅗ u|ㅜ|| The falling dipthongs are a problem, because there's no ii or uu. So is y. What about ㅡ for y? --pne ;:No. y is exact match of ㅓ mi'e sanxiyn. !Consonants Some problems: There is no character for initial b, c, d, g, j, l or z, though some characters that are used for sounds sot found in Lojban can be used for these purposes, like the "iu" series or the ssang series. ;:Same is true for English, but there is nonetheless Korean orthography for it. Maybe we can imitate it. mi'e sanxiyn. Also, it will be hard to fit in the . or the ' if it occurs in a syllable. ;:Apostrophe ' must be ㅎ pe'i mi'e sanxiyn. Obviously Hangul is unsuited to be a Lojban orthography, but it does pose an interesting challenge. -- Lee Min-Ji __ Does anyone know about IKPA : Internationnal Korean Phonetic Alphabet ? Look at this /http://www.scripta.kr/scripta2010/kr/proceedings/proc07v01_004.pdf It can almost remplace IPA, and certainly display all the lojban phonetic diversity. But we seem to lost the syllabic bloc feature, and that's I think where a work can be done to restore it, although IKPA wasn't though to be used this way. I'm sure it is closer to a proper logic writing system for a logic language than every attempt ever made. Pei'pei mi'e la brabenvaxda'u balsoi__
