(Korean) Hangeul for Mayan
Somehow, a few months ago, I noticed that the sounds of Korean are very similar to classical Mayan. I decided to tweak the Korean a little so (for instance) Mayan /pi/ and /p'i/ were represented "logically" as 비 and 삐 instead of 피 and 삐. Using Korean 타 ("ta") for Mayan /sa/ feels egregiously bad to me, but I didn't have any better ideas. In the table below, I've composed Hangeul transliterations for the Mayan glyphs in the syllabary at Omniglot. I've marked minor shifts in pronunciation in blue, more significant shifts in magenta. If I haven't misunderstood, Mayan /wo/ and /yi/ are both sounds that can occur in Korean, but they're spelled 오 and 이, which are already assigned /o/ and /i/, respectively, so I had to completely deviate from the pattern on those.

Cool! Can you speak Classical Mayan? I envy you if you do. About your Hangeul adaptation, I notice it's pretty regular and all. Written Mayan surely would look cool. As far as I know, 의 is pronounced in Korean, as a sort of digraph using — and | . Also, 워 is romanized as "-wo-" in the current offical romanization.

I cannot speak classical Mayan (or any of the modern flavors). It's been a back-burner interest for a long time, but never enough to actually learn it in detail. So I've got little bits here and there, but can't do much more than count. 훈, 가, 옻, 간, 호, &c. :) 워 is romanized 'wo', but the pronunciation (as I hear it) drifts a little towards or , and it breaks the pattern of using 오 for the -o syllables. 의 isn't pronounced . Neither composition is horrifically bad at indicating its intended sound, but they're different from how a person literate in Korean would typically pronounce them.

Ok, that's pretty obvious. A Korean would read it VERY differently. The most notorious example: you used ㅌ for ! But you used ㅅ for <tz> so it's ok... 의 isn't pronounced . I understand that. And how is it pronounced in Korean? Was I right about ? :D By the way, I also made a Korean cipher some years ago. I must post it later... EDIT: I did a bit googling, and 의 seems to be pronounced <1j>...
