AlphabetEdit

Fenhwi uses the korean hangul in combination with chinese logographs. The logographs will be covered in the vocabulary, the hangul here.

there are three places a consonant can occur. One is initially, this is on the beginning of a syllable. There also is medial, this is when a consonant is at the end of a syllable, but is not in the last syllable of a word. The last place is on the end of a syllable, being the last syllable of a word. the next table show the general pronunciation of every grapheme based on it's location. the cells that contain an x do not occur in the language.

ㅇ (none) ŋ ŋ (nothing)/ng (nothing)/ng

ㅆ ts ts t̚ q ts
ㅈ tɕ~dʑ tɕ t̚ j tš

ㅊ tɕʰ tɕʰ t̚ ch tšh

There are two kinds of syllables in fenhwi, ones with a final consonant, called closed syllables, and ones without a final consonant, called open syllables. The pronunciation of vowels depend on whether the syllable is open or closed. the following table shows their pronunciation in both kinds of syllables.

grapheme open syllable closed syllable romanisation alternative
ㅏ a a a a
ㅑ ja ja ya ya
ㅐ ɛ ɛ ae ǎ
ㅒ jɛ jɛ yae yǎ
ㅘ wa wa wa wa
ㅙ wɛ wɛ wae wǎ
ㅓ ʌ ʌ eo ŏ
ㅕ jʌ jʌ yeo yŏ

Ordering the hangul is a done slightly "odd", to organize a syllable, you first need to group them by "general initials consonant", after that the're grouped by the vowels, after which they are grouped by the "detailed initial consonant". Finally they are grouped by final consonant.

general initial ㅇ ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅎ
detailed initial ㅇ ㄱ ㅋ ㄴ ㄷ ㅌ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅃ ㅍ ㅅ ㅆ ㅈ ㅉ ㅊ ㅎ
general vowel ㅏ ㅓ ㅣ ㅡ ㅜ ㅗ
detailed vowel ㅏ ㅐ ㅘ ㅙ ㅓ ㅔ ㅝ ㅞ ㅣ ㅢ ㅚ ㅟ ㅡ ㅜ ㅗ
extra detailed vowel ㅏ ㅑ ㅐ ㅒ ㅘ ㅙ ㅓ ㅕ ㅔ ㅖ ㅝ ㅞ ㅣ ㅢ ㅚ ㅟ ㅡ ㅜ ㅠ ㅗ ㅛ
general final ㅇ ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅎ
detailed final ㅇ ㄱ ㅋ ㄴ ㄷ ㅌ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅍ ㅅ ㅈ ㅊ ㅎ
extra detailed final ㅇ ㄱ ㄳ ㅋ ㄴ ㄵ ㄶ ㄷ ㅌ ㄹ ㄾ ㄻ ㄼ ㄿ ㄽ ㅁ ㅂ ㅄ ㅍ ㅅ ㅆ ㅈ ㅊ ㅎ
