Writing Systems of the World 10, Exercise 3: a four-sentence profile There is no single right answer. Here is a sample for Hangul, using facts from Chapter 8 (my wording): Hangul is an alphabet whose letters are stacked into syllable blocks, and its featural classification is disputed. It was created under King Sejong and published in 1446. It fits Korean well because the 24 basic letters combine into 11,172 possible blocks by a regular rule. One question I still have is how far the shapes really encode phonetic features, since scholars disagree about the "featural" label. Check your own answer against the chapter you used: the type should match the Chapter 1 table, and each fact should be one the chapter attributes to a source.
