The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[rikforto]

The Hangul writing system assembles letters into syllable blocks with an initial slot, a medial vowel slot, an optional final slot, so text is a linear sequence of internally slotted blocks, which structurally is, in my modest understanding, what Voynichese slot grammar does, at least in principle.

If you treat the jamo as letters, which they essentially are, I would not expect that you get the remarkable structure of Voynichese letter ordering because the finals significantly overlap with the initials. I'm not sure I've seen anyone run the entropy statistics on Romanized Korean text---and if someone is interested in tackling that challenge I have some thoughts about how to do it---but it has a very different quality from Pinyin or Chữ Quốc Ngữ.
