This paper discusses several prerequisites for recording other languages by using Hunminjeongum (Hangeul). The scientific, systematic, and practical features of Hunminjeongum is undoubtedly obvious. Such a view of Hunminjeongeum is based on its iconicity, featural property and non-linearity. However, the existing conviction that Hunminjeongeum can transcribe all human sounds or that Hunminjeongeum is the only script which is easy for anyone to learn requires a more rigorous consideration. Given the fact that all scripts can be evaluated as equal, without one being more superior than the other, all scripts are optimized for recording the language in its own given linguistic context. Further, the function of a script is not just limited in a simple representation of a language. Adding new letters into the system of Hunminjeongeum or maintaining its current mode of notation can be problematic. First, it is important to solve computer-related issues: the registration of Hunminjeongum into the computer system as well as its output, problems regarding unicode, the new developments required for input devices, keyboards, fonts, and computer programs.
