Whie seving in Korea ('87-'88), I saw and goofed around with a Korean* typewriter. I remember mainly that it seemed to have just a few more keys than a QWERTY, built three-letter syllable groups automatically and had at least one special button that skipped a space allowing for a two-letter syllable group (such as the syllable "long e", usually tranliterated as "i".

*For those who don't know, Korean is mostly a series of consonant-vowel-consonant syllables which are written in phnetic syllable groups. Example, their word for themselves is, iirc, hankooksaram, roughly Korean People, written in phonetic characters han-kook-sa-ram.
