Hal and Rohal
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hal.php The Hal alphabet was invented by Kim Godgul as an alternative script for Korean. It is based on the Korean Hangul alphabet and there is a one-to-one match between the letters of Hal and Hangul. Unlike Hangul, Hal is written linearly rather than being grouped into syllables. The name Hal is a contraction of Hangul. I think it's a creative idea, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to undo the beauty that is the featural system of Hangul... ...and I'm not very fond of the vowels. I think she could have made something a bit more elegant for those. Not bad for an altscript for Korean though. ____________________________________________ http://www.omniglot.com/writing/rohal.php The Hal alphabet was invented by Kim Godgul as an alternative script for English and other languages written with the Latin/Roman alphabet. It is an adaptation of the Hal, which is based on the Korean Hangul alphabet, and there is a one-to-one match between Hal and Roman letters. I just can't get too excited about ciphers for the alphabetum latinum anymore.

I agree with you. Nevertheless I'm glad I looked at them; which I probably wouldn't have, at least not for a while, if you hadn't posted about them.
