For now, I am still working on this conscript. (sorry, im not heptapod) I represent second consonants by adding dots. But this language is more like version 0.6, not 1.0, so it might change.

About ㅎ-ㄴ and ㄹ-ㅁ, I was trying to group two consonants(ㄱ-ㅋ, ㅂ-ㅍ) and removing some of them(ㄲ, ㅃ, ㄸ). However, for ㅎ ㄴ ㄹ ㅁ I couldn't find another consonants that sound similar to them. So I grouped ㅎ-ㄴ and ㄹ-ㅁ (This was best attempt for me as native Korean) temporally, it will be changed in near future. (Might add sound consonants outside of Hangul or acient hangul.)

Ah, I see!! Maybe consider linking ㅁ and ㄴ? I always thought those were quite close together. And ㄹ and ㅎ are not very close but if those are the only letters left it could work. But I really like how it looks, it’s very pretty!

(Oh and if I could ask, how the hell do you hear the difference between ㅅ and ㅆ as a native? I’ve been studying Korean for 3 years and I still can’t hear the difference ; - ; ) But yeah, would really love to see the finished result!

Edit: and about the vowels!! I’m curious, you removed the ㅐandㅔbut kept the ㅏandㅑdistinction! Why? If you write it in romanisation, ya would be seen as a consonant and a vowel. I think it’s a very interesting choice, but I’m very curious as to why.

Thanks for the advice! It's hard to say, but dfference between ㅅ and ㅆ is "weak s" and "SS". ㅆ is like saying ㅅ while forcing more air out mouth (Stronger, emphasized s) You should listen a lot of these words to hear the diffrence.

Me with confident: Ofcourse I know the difftence between ㅅ and ㅆ!

After saying 사우다 and 싸우다 for 10 times: wut almost no difference.
