Hangul

Hangul orthography for Lojban.

Discussion

General notes

• Lee Min-Ji:

  Obviously Hangul is unsuited to be a Lojban orthography, but it does pose an interesting challenge.

• Does anyone know about IKPA : Internationnal Korean Phonetic Alphabet ? Look at this. It can almost replace 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.
  • la brabenvaxda'u balsoi:

    I'm sure it is closer to a proper logic writing system for a logic language than every attempt ever made. Pei'pei

• A Hangul orthography is sheer foolishness, because Hangul doesn't work well for most languages except Korean.
  • sanxiyn.:

    You're right in this, pe'i

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.
  • pne:

    What about ㅡ for y?

    • sanxiyn:

      No. y is exact match of ㅓ.

Consonants

• 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.
  • sanxiyn.:

    Same is true for English, but there is nonetheless Korean orthography for it. Maybe we can imitate it.

  • Also, it will be hard to fit in the . or the ' if it occurs in a syllable.
    • sanxiyn.:

      Apostrophe ' must be ㅎ pe'i
