Simgeul

Simgeul is a way to write Korean with a simplified version of the Korean hangeul script created by ajn. Unlike hangeul, which is written in syllable blocks, Simgeul is written with one letter after the other.

Notable Features

Type of writing system: alphabet
Writing direction: left to right in horizontal lines.
Used to write: Korean
There are two ways to write in Simgeul: a regular version which puts a space between each "block" while actual spaces are indicated with diamond marks, and a concatenated version, which uses fewer spaces.
