Information on Korean Language
The Korean written language (Hangul) was created in 1443 by linguist scholars. It was commissioned by King
Sejong
.
Because it was created by linguists it has these features:
Simple alphabet of 28 characters.
Very phonetic – if you see it you can pronounce it.
Consonants that make similar sounds – look similar (actually a hint of the shape your mouth makes).
Grouped by syllables, so you always know where syllables start and end.
Y sounds are added to vowels with a simple consistent rule, and W sounds are built by combining vowels (called diphthongs by linguists).
Because of the rules you can’t stream letters together in an unpronounceable way like you can English.Slide3
Placement of Characters in Syllables
Syllables start with a consonant followed by a vowel and then possibly an ending consonant.
If the syllable starts with a vowel the starting consonant is the silent consonant (a circle).
Syllables are stacked in Korean with the consonant (or silent circle) at top left, the vowel’s beneath and possibly to the right of that, and then the ending consonant at the bottom.Slide4
