View submission: Progress on Ainu script font
Well in the one I learnt, ㇻㇼㇽㇾㇿ gets used matching the previous vowel. There's some reasoning that it's because the pronunciation deviates slightly, but it seems needless to me too
Personally I think hangul suits the best but latin/katakana is the only thing we got, and both works fine if you're already familiar with it. I don't think I had problem with katakana writing method before

Yeah - Hangul would suit Ainu to a tee. I think they both have 'CVC' phonotactics.
The vowel rhyming makes sense. Interestingly, that's how Mayan glyphs also work.
Most of the stuff I read is in latin, so I just convert it to katakana based on the rules I've seen - but I've noticed there's really no consistency between sources.
