Hangul "is not the only [writing system that we know and can trace who exactly created it]. We know exactly who created the Cherokee and the Cree-Inuk syllabaries. There are also several new scripts in parts of Africa and elsewhere who’s creators are still alive among us, e.g., Herman ‘Mogri’ Mongrain Lookout for the Osage alphabet."

Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet
DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469
Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.

#introduction HI I am Randolph, I am a #neurodivergent #furry with #autism with a special place in my heart for #hymns, #anthems (mainly #nationalanthems and #historicalanthems), authoritarian states' #propaganda and #propagandasongs, any #politicalmusic and sometimes #folkmusic or normal music in languages like #russian or #kyrgyz or #turkish. Quite interested in the #RussiaUkraineWar and #specialmilitaryoperation propaganda too.
#sovietsocialistrepublics and #ssranthems are awesome (in fact WW2 and Cold War period are my favorite), I like #geopolitics, #vexillology, #mapping.
My normaler interests include #linguistics, alongside English I speak #italianlanguage and #sicilianlanguage (interested in its preservation too), #lettering and #alphabets and #writingsystems, particularly the #Cyrillic and #greekscript. Knows #csharp. And is a #phonetics and #internationalphoneticalphabet nerd. I really like #hyenas, #foxes, #seals, and #otters. And that's about enough.
