Kentel - a Bopomofo for Western languages

An alternative to Seogul, free of Western graphemes, is Kentel.

Kentel (K-N-T-L) is a writing system for Western languages based on Bopomofo (B-P-M-F) and Hangul. The main consonant phonemes are duly covered. However, adaptations of the Bopomofo's vowels were necessary to cover the main vowel phonemes present in Western languages.

Seogul - Hangul for western languages

Hangul is perhaps the most complete and representative writing system that exists. Its graphemes represent forms that the oral apparatus does when pronouncing each phoneme.

Seogul is based on the combination of hangul characters for consonants and IPA characters for vowels.
