Another Hangeul adaptation: Spanish
History: I started training in Taekwondo when I was 9 years old. There, I was exposed to a non-Western language: Korean. I saw all those posters and diplomas on the walls, written in an "odd alphabet" in the place. Believe it or not, I guessed each letter's pronunciation (more or less) and mechanics while seeing how the teacher wrote the students' names in Korean. So a year later, not having something better to do, I created this cipher/code for Spanish, with Hangeul. I'm surprised by the quality of the adaptation, as I was just 10 years old and a complete ignorant of linguistics. Well, all thanks to Spanish simple phonemes. Alphabet:
Mechanics:
-It uses the Hangeul Jamo, written from left-to-right in horizontal lines, and read from top to bottom.
-It's based in the Spanish phonemes.
-Each word is separated by a space.
-When a vowel starts the syllable, like in inversión or caer, the silent consonant ㅇ is used. 인벶숀, 카엦.
-For initial consonant clusters, the first letter has an <eu> (<—>) below, and the rest appears after the next consonant. So /a.'blar/ is 아브랒.
For /-ns/, the only final cluster in Spanish, the /s/ is written apart over a <—>.
Example:
Todos los seres humanos nacen libres e iguales en dignidad y
derechos y, dotados como están de razón y conciencia, deben
comportarse fraternalmente los unos con los otros.
