I made Portuguese hangul just because
So I was bored as fuck yesterday and came up with this. Initially I was trying to learn more about ideographic scripts and trying to create something like a Chinese-style script for Latin languages so I could use less paper for writing, but that proved difficult quickly (who would have thought!) and I switched to playing around with the idea of codifying the Portuguese phonology in hangul-style blocks instead. It doesn't really make my writing much shorter but the more I work on it the more I like it. Now I'm ready for Reddit to ruin my hobby and point out all the flaws in it (seriously though, I'm taking pointers to improve!)
Thought you guys would enjoy it in a thanks I hate it kinda way.
Last slide's transliteration (1:1, phonemic + punctuation):
>ola, rrédit!
meu objetivo inisial
érâ criar un tipo de "xórtrrand", mâs
mesmo ce iso falhe,
gostei do rrezultado!
And in actual Portuguese:
>Olá, Reddit! Meu objetivo inicial era criar um tipo de shorthand, mas mesmo que isso falhe, gostei do resultado!
Translated:
>Hello, Reddit! My initial goal was to create some kind of shorthand, but even if this fails, I like the result!
A few notes:
- I know I made some symbols too similar. If I end up taking this seriously I'll rework some of them, mainly some of the vowel symbols and improving the distinction between the fricative, voiced and fricative+voiced markers, as well as making some of them seem less like the wrong Latin letter (looking at you, X and J)
- Vowels used are mostly standard but lean Brazilian Portuguese; notably this lacks the European "e caduc" and uses closed ô where PT-EU would use ó (I may have missed more differences)
- I want to make one of these for English, let me know if you know of any ones done previously that work
