What I don't get about eastern languages, is that they're still hanging in there with these iconographical and syllabaries. They've seen the elegant flexibility and conciseness of the roman alphabet... the way a meagre 26 characters can represent a huge array of human speech... yet they haven't made the switch.

The Roman alphabet is poorly adapted to the English language; it doesn't cover all the vowels or consonants, and is full of bizarre spelling rules that make absolutely no sense.

Kanji/Hanzi are certainly not perfect, but they do create associations between words in a way that English or any other purely phonetic-based written language can, which is actually quite helpful in understanding scientific and other complex terms.

For Japanese it would be stupid, there's very few different sounds in the language that all words would end up being the same. Take the word "e" for example (very basic one), you probably have hundreds of different words that are spelled that way, can you figure out without context what it means?
On the other hand, if you start doing: 柄, 江, 画, etc... then it all makes sense.

Korean were using those characters before, called Hanja, until someone really smart invented hangul, which is considered the most logical and intelligent way of writing today.

What you say is like saying French or Spanish should use only the 26 letters of the alphabet, without any change to them, it doesn't work like that. English speakers should be happy to only have 26 letters.

Speaking of letters/sounds.

Fuck only 26 letters.
I first met word "sibling"(my native language has no identical word) several years ago, and I'm still don't know if first 'I' should be pronounced like SIze or like SIn.

That's not the alphabet's fault...that's English's fault. In a language like Italian it would be obvious.

For a language like Korean, it probably is; it was made by Koreans for Koreans writing Korean. Other languages could have problems, though.

Think of the Latin alphabet, made by Italians (well, technically, Romans) for Italians writing Latin (and later Italian). Then some genius got the idea of writing English with it...

Goes to show how sick, weird and twisted English really is, with stuff like the i in "vibrate" pronounced like "size" and "sibling" like "sin", just being the tip of the iceberg.

and blame the French and Danes for English being a fucked up language. Without them it'd be more like Dutch

Protip: if your native lang is not CV(n) like Japanese, try Ainu katakana instead:

if a sound can represent many words then do they get confused when speaking, or is it only in the writing system you can use stand-alone out of context words, and there are always big sentences when talking, so they don't get confused?

It should be noted that in oral speech japanese has additional context thanks to tones(think of bridge vs chopsticks). Kana has no such additional context.
