Hangul 1 : 10 Basic Vowels (모음)

     My lecturer said that "If you want to learn Korean Language, you must learn the Korean alphabets first. Because Hangul's sound cannot be romanized.". Now lets learn the 10 basic vowels of Korean Alphabets, Hangul.

     In the creation of the description of the vowel, King Sejong had applied East Asian philosophy of divination, a belief which existence are all in Yin and Yang system. And sound is no exception. There is brightness and darkness in sound. In order to represent this principle into vowel description, three basic shape were created in the image of the sky ( . ), land ( - ) and man ( | ) and it expresses many aspects of the sounds in unique way. As time passed, the dot changed iinto dash shape because the dot hardly recognized in the character. There are 10 basic vowels and 11 complex vowels that Korean used now. The followings are the basic vowels taht is in alphabetical order.




When writing the basic vowels, we need to write it with a consonant called yieung ( ). The vowels will look like these.

Unit 1 : Hangul

     Koreans use their own unique alphabet called Hangul (originally called Hun Min Jeong Um), and it was created under King Sejong and completed in 1443 during the Chosun Dynasty. Before that, Korean had been using Chineese characters to describe the Korean language. Then King Sejong realized that the system is not suitable for Korean language because Chineese has too many character to choose for the sound of Korean. Furthermore, only upper social classes' children could be sent to learnt Chineese character, which is unfair to the majority people who are remain illiteracy. He wanted to create a veru easy and understandable new characters so that everybody can express their thoughts in written form without any difficulties. With these grounds, he has created own unique Korean alphabets, Hangul which consists of 40 letters, 21 to represent vowels and diphthongs and 19 to represent the consonant.
