>100% compatibility Again, this could just as well have been achieved by just adapting a different alphabet, so this is not really a benefit to inventing your own alphabet >cultural heritage That depends on what you take "cultural heritage" to mean. I don't think inventing something new from scratch actually brings any kind of heritage. It looks like a case of "we just need to have something unique because, uhh, reasons". >reduced cognitive load when learning new languages I'm not convinced this is true. You're trading not having to switch mindsets about the sounds when switching languages against not having general familiarity with the alphabet, and I'm not sure which has a bigger impact on cognitive load. I also don't think either of those really has a big impact; the fact that a different language just has different sounds seems to be the main cause of cognitive load here. All in all I think these are some pretty myopic benefits at best, and do not justify the gradeoff of having to add yet more stuff to unicode, make fonts for this new language, etcetera. I do not think the world needs yet another format to write down sounds.
