So which type of writing system is the best? Which languages do you think could use a different type of writing system?

It's an alphabet (consonants and vowels) but they group them in blocks.

>>70224176
Hangul is an alphabet. They just arrange the letters in blocks.

We should make a logographic English.

that looks fucking horrible

so inconsistent.
>>
>>70225093
the chart literally shows combination of a consonant and a vowel. How is that inconsistent?
>>
>>70225308
because the consontants sometimes go on top and sometimes go on the left,the vowels sometimes go on the right and sometimes on the bottom, and consonants even change their shape every now and again, sometimes even completely.

again, that looks fucking horrible.

>>70225408
I still have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. It's consistency is the very reason why its often reputed as being the easiest writing systems to learn, with some youtube videos touting they can teach you to read and write hangul in 5 minutes.

stfu you retarded gook, fuck your language.

Alphabets are the best. The Latin alphabet is the basis for the IPA because you can write basically any language with Latin letters, even those with clicks like Xhosa or tones like Vietnamese.
With abugidas, it depends. Sometimes they are logical and balanced like devanagari, sometimes they are chaotic like Ge'ez.
Abjads are SMS speak.
Ideograms are stupid. It's like writing with emoji.
>>
>>70225408
Vertical vowels go on the right. Horizontal vowels go on the bottom. The consonant is scaled to fit in the block. It's not hard, you fucking idiot.
>>
>>70225717
abjads have the same origin as alphabets just more complex

Imagine a writing system based purely on illustrations of penises. It would work sort of like Chinese writing. Combining different penises you get more complex meanings.
