What is a "featural writing system"?

A featural writing system is a type of writing that represents the features of sounds, specifically phonemes, through symbols. In this system, each symbol corresponds to specific articulatory characteristics of the sounds, such as place or manner of articulation. For example, in the Hangul writing system used for Korean, consonants are designed to visually represent the shape of the mouth or the position of the articulators when producing the sounds. The symbol for the consonant "ㄱ" (g) resembles the shape of the tongue at the back of the mouth. Featural writing systems are significant because they provide a more systematic approach to representing language, making it easier for learners to understand how sounds are formed and pronounced.
