1 UNIT Hangeul In This Unit Introduction to Hangeul Learning the vowels of Hangeul Learning the consonants of Hangeul 16 UNIT 1
Introduction to Hangeul Korean uses its own unique alphabet called Hangeul. It is considered to be one of the most efficient alphabets in the world and has garnered unanimous praise from language experts for its scientific design and excellence. Hangeul was created under King Sejong during the Joseon Dynasty (1393-1910). In 1446, the first Korean alphabet was proclaimed under the original name Hun-min-jeong-eum, which literally meant the correct sounds for the instruction of the people. Hangeul consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels, totaling 24 basic characters. The shapes of Hangeul s consonants were formed after voice organs (such as lip, tongue, throat, etc.) while those of the vowels were formed after what one might say symbolizes heaven, earth, and human beings. All words in Korean are composed of syllables, which go by the following basic rules: 1. A syllable begins with a consonant. 2. A syllable has at least one consonant and one vowel. 3. Each syllable gets written in a square box. A syllable that consists of a consonant and a vertical vowel is written with the consonant on the left and the vowel on the right. [n] + [a] = [na] A syllable that consists of a consonant and a horizontal vowel is written with the consonant on top and the vowel underneath. [n] + [o] = [no] If a syllable shows a consonant-vowel-consonant combination, in other words, if a syllable ends with a consonant, called batchim (meaning supporting floor in Korean), the final consonant goes to the bottom or floor of that syllable. [m] + [a] + [n] = [man] [m] + [o] + [k] = [mok] All symbols of Hangeul are written from top to bottom and from left to right. Strokes are never interrupted, not even when they change directions halfway. Hangeul 17

Hangeul (5) A Hangeul syllable is made of a consonant and a vowel, and also can be made by adding one more consonant below the vowel. The added consonant is called batchim. How to write a letter with a batchim and without a batchim are shown below. Korean consonants are pronounced in 7 representative sounds when they are located at the end of a syllable as a batchim. For example, in syllables such as,, which have,, as their batchims, respectively all the batchims will be pronounced as the representative sound and, therefore, the three syllables will be pronounced as the same sound []. And, which has no sound value as the initial sound, is pronounced as [] as a batchim. The respective batchims are pronounced as shown in the following table: Batchim Sound Value Hangeul 31
