Nahuangul is a way to write Nahuatl with the Korean Hangul script devised by Joseph Ha. He noticed that Nahuatl's syllable structure would be ideal for compacting into Hangul blocks. As well as saving space compared to the Latin alphabet, Hangul is closer to keeping the one-sound-per-symbol rule, avoiding the risk of an ambiguous orthography (e.g. is 'cu' /ku/ or /kw/). One problem is that since some archaic letters are left out of the modern Korean keyboard, they are difficult to input without special fonts.
