All human language sounds and encodings
Amber, for the Internet Foundation, I have a project called “all human languages” which aims to standardized and organize the sounds and transcription, storage and use, of all languages used in the world, with emphasis on the languages of the 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet. There is a Korean king who created Hangul, a phonetic alphabet for transcribing the sounds of spoken Korean. In a few days a person could learn to transcribe the sounds they hear, and write sounds they would say. Now that can be extended to all sounds (not necessarily humans since robot speech is not always how a human would say it). The purpose is to record the sounds and make it possible for every human to recognize and use all sounds and have the recorded, encoded and shared in universal form. I can explain the details of how much wasted time and how many mistakes there are now, just because every language is based on “no computers available” and “every human is limited to what is near them”.
