Most english orthographic reforms fail because they're trying to make the language better when they should be making it worse. In pursuit of that idea, starting in fall 2024 we're adding six new letters to make reading harder.

1. Reverse P

Completing the b-d-p rotational cycle and causing confusing with g and q (the hook on the q is now mandatory).

2. Lower i

Uppercase is a lowercase i and lowercase is an even lower i.

3. Left bracket

For it's hard work over the years, [ is being promoted to the alphabet proper. Lower case is a reverse h. Fuck right bracket.

4. Long M

Just like a regular M but two of the legs keep going. Long M is a vowel in all cases that Y isn't.

5. Reverse X

Like X but in reverse. To tell the difference we're adding these little curls to X, so regular X now looks like this

6. Reverse F

Uppercase is a reverse F, lowercase is an upside down v. Fuck you is why.

Hey, Vicdecai shippers! All of you! Espesially those who ship one-sided Vicdecai and relish that Mordecai-the-repressed-gay-man angst! Don't you find you all miss something? Because I think you are.

Because Victor, the cis man Mordecai has that tragic crush on? Well. Imagine you are Victor. That cis slavic guy who has a wife and beloved beautiful kid.

Imagine you had them, but you are changed by The Great War now so irreversibly your wife cannot accept you, she cannot live with the man you are now. She left and she took your dear child, too.

And than you meet a person, a person who is more than fine with that war broken man you're now, a person who's always by your side, a person worth diying for... Hell, a person worth putting a fucking tie on a fucking New Year for!

But you can't love him. Because you have a wife and a kid. And he is a man. And you cannot love him, because men do not betray their wives and do not love other men, that is simply a rule and you now can't live without being true to some rules in your broken life, without orders of life...

And than that person betrays you and your found family. And you just start losing your purpose

I desperately would love love LOVE to introduce Feanorians to a Quenyan version of Scrabble and watch them explode

I imagine that they'd make a bigger board to be able to fit 10-12 players and it would go on for days. With bickerings on the validity of words and with Moryo as the score keeper who can't quite keep his mouth shut and joins in on the bickering on wheter the word choice is "so fucking stupid, Tyelko. It should be banned on principle. What the fuck-". Each of the Feanorion just keeps on making up new rules especially after the Ambarussa makes up new words and argues for a whole hour and a half that it "totally counts as a word. Trust us, Nelyo-", that time Meadhros tried to pass a whole ass sentence as a "word", when Feanor took almost 12+ hours to think up an appropriate word to put down and etc.

Because come on guys. Ñoldor? "Those with great knowledge"? Feanor? The guy who created a whole ass writing system (the Tengwar)? His family? Who is just as intense and competitive as him? His step-siblings who would no doubt love an excuse to throw down without getting into trouble with the Valar or Finwë? Scrabble is THE BEST for Ñoldor Family Game Night(s).

I can just imagine Feanor playing scrabble with Finwë, Indis, Nolofinwë, Arafinwë, Írimë and Findis. Oh boyy. Findis is keeping score but everyone keeps trying to justify how they should have a higher score that word. Nolo and Feanor are shouting. Accusing each other for cheating. Ara made a throwaway joke once and suddenly BOTH his brothers are shouting at him. Indis saw the chaos and wanted to put away the game but was immediately stopped. Finwë is just happy to spend time with his family. Írimë is, in fact, the one who is cheating

Edit: More Feanorion shenanigans here! For part 2

Edit: And another! For part 3

Edit: Part 4!

I would love to listen to your podcast (if you wanna have one) about anything, but something about languages intrigues me. Please, tell me more : )

had to think for a second about what this was about I'm guessing it's my Nopony In This Country Is Pronouncing Przewalski Correctly and now listen..... I have no more to tell you because the like. Concept of languages and within that phonology (the study of the patterns of sounds in a language and across languages) is so wide you wouldn't have enough of a life to say everything about it. Unless you got one thing in mind. But I'm Flattered. Idk if I'd be much of a podcast guy I love visual stimuli. shan't lie I've had for months the idea to do a. Franco-Cantabrian Archeological iceberg... with shit like....... Fontainebleau "water breaking" carving... the Réseau Clastres Only Know Depiction Of [Animal]..... stuff of the sort. but oh well. FLATTERED.... maybe one day. Podcast ideas anyone.

Oh yeah, I just wasted spend whole saturday on learning georgian hand writing!!!💪

Considering that my only source material were t-shirts from foxyshop.ge and Google Translate - you can only inagine what hell of a ride this was😂 Some letter resemble their printed versions but decoding some others was absolutely brainwashing experience!🤣 Don't believe me? Well, check this out:

Three examples at the top... No, these are not "M", "uh" nor "sh" - this is how you can write არ [ar]. You can find it in the word at the bottom: მიყვარხარ (meaning "I love you" - that's why არ might be heart-shaped sometimes)

More examples:

what you see on the top is not "ps" but და (meaning "and"), in the middle you can see 3-letter word შენ (meaning "you") written twice in a bit different style (YES I repeat: there are 3-letters in the left one too!!!) and the one on the bottom is NOT A DICK-PIC a word ის (meaning "she / he / it")

Now I suppose I can as well just share the rest my knowledge findings with you? Ready or not, here I come:

This is ქ (message to brain: this is NOT "t" !)

This is წ (message to brain: this is NOT "ნ" nor "b" !)

(I haven't met hand written letters ჭ , ჰ , ჯ nor ჟ so I can't show them to you🤷)

This is ე (message to brain: this is NOT "g", "ვ" nor "დ" !!!)

This is რ (message to brain: this is NOT "h", "ჩ" nor "ყ" !!!)

This is ღ (message to brain: NOT "რ" nor "ლ" !)

This is ტ (message to brain: this is NOT "ფ", "დ" nor "&" !) (I'm not quite sure abt the second one. The last one was sooo hard to decode😵‍💫)

This is თ

This is ყ (message to brain: this is NOT "უ", "y" nor "4" !)

This is უ (message to brain: distinguish it from "ყ" somehow!)

This is ი (message to brain: this is NOT "n" !)

This is ო (how the hell could it evolve into this L-shape I have no idea😵‍💫 Guessing what letter this was needed a lot of deduction from me!)

These are პ and კ (message to brain: NOT "ჰ" nor "ვ" !)

This is ა (message to brain: NOT "s" nor "ს" !!!)

This is ს (sometimes hard to distinguish from "ხ")

This is შ (message to brain: NOT "y" !)

This is დ (and the last one looks not at all like the last of "ტ"...)

This is ფ (message to brain: NOT "დ", "ტ" nor "ვ" !!!)

This is გ (message to brain: distinguish it from "მ" !)

This is ლ

This is ზ

This is ძ (message to brain: distinguish it from "მ")

This is ხ (distinguish it from "ს" !)

This is ც (message to brain: NOT "პ" nor "ს" !)

This is ჩ (message to brain: it's NOT "h", "რ" nor "ყ" !!!)

This is ვ (message to brain: NOT "3", "ზ" nor "ე" !)

This is ბ (message to brain: this is NOT "ძ" !)

This is ნ (distinguish it from "ხ" !)

And this is მ (I would never suspect it could resemble "გ" but it does so watch out!)

[mixelation]

The hangul alphabet was published in Korea on October 9, 1446.

South Korea Hangul Day

South Korea Hangul Day, also known as Korean Alphabet Day, is observed annually on October 9. It’s a national holiday to commemorate the invention and proclamation of the Korean alphabet, known as Hangul (or Hangeul). It’s also celebrated in North Korea on January 15 as ‘Chosun-gul’ Day. Before the invention of Hangul, Koreans wrote using Classical Chinese with native phonetic writing systems. Hangul Day has been a national holiday since 1970, except for the years 1991 until 2012. We observe the day to commemorate King Sejong’s achievement and the promulgation of the ‘Hunminjeongeum,’ a document describing an entirely new script for the Korean language, which was later known as Hangul.

History of South Korea Hangul Day

Since its first inception in 1926, the date of Hangul Day has varied. In 1945, the South Korean government declared October 9 as Hangul Day, an annual legal holiday, and since October 9, 1970, Hangul Day has been an annual national holiday in South Korea. However, between 1991 and 2012, Hangul Day’s status as a holiday was canceled due to the South Korean government being pressured by major employers to increase the country’s annual number of workdays. As a result, the day remained as a commemoration but workers didn’t get the day off. On November 1, 2012, its status as a national day was restored.

Before Hangul was invented, Koreans used Chinese characters to write with native phonetic writing systems. In addition to a large number of characters to be learned, the grammatical differences between Korean and Chinese languages also became difficult for Koreans to write using Chinese characters. As a result, only those who had the privilege of education were literate. Therefore, King Sejong decided to create the Korean alphabet to promote literacy among all Koreans, and he proclaimed the publication of Hangul in 1446.

Despite all the benefits of Hangul, it almost went out of existence during the Choson dynasty. At the time, the elites who desired to preserve their status saw that Chinese characters were the only true way to write Korean. Hangul was then effectively banned by King Yeonsangun in the early 16th Century but then saw a revival towards the end of the century. It then had a resurgence in the 19th Century, and gradually grew more common, especially due to its role in Korean nationalism during the era of the Japanese occupation. In the 1970s, there was a decline in the use of Chinese characters, paving the way for the prevalent utilization of Hangul in almost all Korean writings today.

South Korea Hangul Day FAQs

Is learning Korean hard?

Korean might be ranked as one of the more difficult languages to learn by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), but it’s still very much possible to learn as a non-native speaker.

Is Korean read left to right?

In today’s Korea, the majority of Korean is written horizontally, to be read from left to right.

Is Hangul scientific?

The Korean writing system, the Hangul, is considered to be the most scientific phonetic alphabet system. This is because its characters are based on the shapes of the parts of the human body that are used to enunciate the sound of those characters.

How to Observe South Korea Hangul Day
