I got so bored that I completely recreated JyutPing (Pingmuk, a constructed phonetic system)

Basically, I was inspired by Hangul's featural alphabetic syllabary system that I created my own but for Cantonese!

Each consonant ( except for /h/ ) is based on the side profile of the mouth

left vertical line = lips

center vertical line = tongue

right vertical line = velar

top and bottom horizontal lines connecting to the vertical line = roof of the mouth and the floor of the mouth

^ = the tongue when pronouncing the /j/ sound

/ = the tongue when pronouncing the /l/ sound

x = u sound

. = aspirated (glottis)

the roof of the mouth (top horizontal line) removed = modified sounds

/s/ is just a modified /t͜s/

Tones are written on the left of the block of sounds,

vertical and horizontal lines = flat tones

containing diagonal lines = rising tones

Ending sounds are just consonants with the bottom horizontal line removed and two of the vowels

Vowels are made using just vibes

This does not replace Cantonese Chinese as a whole, it's only for phonetic notations
