Hangraphy

This is a project anyone can contribute to.

---

Hangraphy (maybe 漢抓?) is a system for representing Indo-European roots with Han characters (漢字, hanzi). After having done so, we can add a kind of okurigana for inflections and such and we have a readymade scheme to represent all Indo-European languages. Oversimplificated? You betcha.

For an example, we can take the numbers, which are pretty basic.

1	一	*oi-no-	en: one, ru: один, la: unus, etc.
2	二	*dwo-	en: two, es: dos, grc: δύω, ...
3	三	*tri-	en: tree, fr: trois, de: drei ...
4	四	*kʷetwor-	en: four
5	五	*penkʷe	en: five
6	六	*(s)(w)eḱs	en: six
7	七	*septem	en: seven
8	八	*oḱtō	en: eight
9	九	*newn	en: nine
10	十	*deḱm	en: ten

Since words get borrowed about so much, some diverse words in a language may be spelled with the same zi, e.g. 一 goes in English words derived from "one", such as "alone" or "only", but it also goes in words of Latin origin such as "unique" or "union".
