[03:11:34] <drbean_> Oh, Korean. I must check it out. I don't think there is any consensus on how to transliterate Korean like there is with Hanyu pinyin with Chinese.
[11:09:50] <daherb> inariksit: you just need to come up with your own perfect transliteration, then everything will be fine ;) https://xkcd.com/927/
[11:11:45] <inariksit> drbean_: yeah, there are lot of different versions!
[11:12:02] <inariksit> but the positive side is that hangul is so easy that you can just learn it
[11:12:44] <inariksit> I would prefer transliteration by ipa
[12:07:41] <inariksit> sorry let me take it back; not literally marking all assimilation stuff, because that's not practical for any orthography. but borrowing some symbols for specific vowel and consonant sounds, to avoid ambiguity: e.g. "eo" means in some systems [ɔ], "eu" means [ɯ], but also the vowels e, o and u exist separately
[12:08:17] <inariksit> so I would just decide to use ɔ as a phoneme, and ignore if in some situations it's actually pronounced [ʌ] or something
[12:08:45] <inariksit> also use the syllable break marking stuff from IPA
[12:09:06] <inariksit> because korean blocks can be arranged like "CV . CV" or "CVC . V"
[12:09:21] <inariksit> and just transliterating "CVCV" you don't know which one it is
[12:10:29] <inariksit> some of the systems do use . or - already, so that's probably fine. the problem with using ipa is that it gets confusing, when you see ɔ you expect phonetic transcription, not phonemic
