The Wolerian script is the trickiest to learn in my opinion, my little puppies. It is similar to Japanese, where there is an actual alphabet and characters from Chinese called Hànzì (漢字). In Wolerian, they are called Han'jik (한직/漢字). The alphabet that I use is the Korean one. In South Korea, it is called Hangeul (한글).

It is actually translated to "Abugida" in Wolerian, since it's not technically an alphabet. It is Shiaoinshujik (피아오인푸빅/小音書字), or "Vowel writing script." If you haven't guessed by now, my little puppies, each letter is stacked together to form one syllable. Similar to how the Han'jik works because they are composed of radicals, or Bushu (부푸/部首). They have a meaning on their own, I am not saying I want you to learn 200+ radicals, that's impractical. But just remember that for when I get to Monese too.

Never worry about learning over 1000 characters just to learn this language for if you want to learn this. The Hangeul is just fine. It just makes things easier to understand the meaning of a sentence. For instance, take this sentence in japanese: "Kono sakura wa utsukushisouda," if you knew Japanese than it would be pretty simple to tell what it's saying. But you would still have some trouble. Now, take the same sentence, but in Japanese letters: 「このさくらはうつくしそうだ。」Again, it's simpler now, but all those together makes it hard to read. Especially since Japanese does not use spaces when writing.
「この桜は美しそうだ。」 Now this, this is great! It gives the reader a great idea of what it's saying, and what it means: "This cherry blossom seems beautiful."

Since there is no real alphabet order, I am going to seperate them into two groups: vowels and consonants.

Vowels:
ㅣ ㅏㅑ ㅓㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅐㅒㅔㅖ ㅘ ㅚ ㅙ ㅟ ㅝ ㅞ ㅢ

/i/ /a/ /ja/ /ei/ /yei/ /o/ /jo/ /ɯ/ /jɯ/ /u/ /ai/ /jai/
/e/ /je/ /ɰa/ /ɰe/ /ɰai/ /ɰi/ /ɰo/ /ɰe/ /ɯi/

Consonants:
ㅂ ㅃ ㅈ ㅉ ㄷ ㄸ ㄱ ㄲ ㅅ ㅆ ㅁ ㄴ ㅇ ㄹ ㅎ ㅋ ㅌ ㅊ ㅍ

/b/ /p/ /d͡ʑ/ /f/,/v/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/ /s/ /z/ /m/ /n/
/ø/,/ŋ/ /h/ /t͡s/ /d͡z/ /t͡ɕ/ /ɕ/,/ʑ/

Vowel Names:
Inko Anko Yanko Einko Yeinko Onko Yonko Unko Yunko Eunko Ainko Yainko Enko Yenko Wanko Wenko Wainko Winko Wonko Wenkon Uinko

인고 안고 얀고 언고 연고 온고 욘고 운고 윤고 은고 앤고 얜고 엔고 옌고 완고 왼고 왠고 윈고 원고 웬곤 읜고

빔견 삠견 짐견 찜견 딤견 띰견 김견 낌견 심견 씸견 민긴 님견 오농 림견 쿠구 아티 침견 팦

Memorizing the letter names is the least important part of all of this. The most important thing about this is just getting used to the alphabet. I think that when it is italicized like this it looks better, so expect this when it comes to Wolerian.
