Good afternoon professor. I`m Clara.Yang. The topic of my presentation today is Han-geul. Koreans have their own unique alphabet and language. The alphabet is called `Han-geul`. Han-geul was created during the Joseon Dynasty(1393~1910) under King Sejong for korean people. At that time, Han-geul was called `Huminjeongeum` and only in the 20th century, people began to use the name, Han-geul.
Han-geul is a phonemic writing system, and it consists of letters for consonants and vowels. Unlike general phonemic writing systems such as the Roman Alphabet, Han-geul was uniquely designed to combine consonant letters and vowel letters into syllabic units. For example, a word, ‘책’ is written like `책` not like ‘ㅊ ㅐ ㄱ ’.
The syllable as a letter is divided into three positions: the initial sound, the medial sound, and the final consonant. Any one among 19 consonant letters can be an initial sound. But, `ㅇ’ among those 19 letters does not have a sound. For example, in case of 우유, two ㅇs are just there filling the space without making any sound in 우 and 유. Any one among 21 vowel letters can be a medial sound. One out of 16 single consonant letters, which is called Hotbatchim: ㄱ,ㅋ,ㄲ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㅌ,ㅅ,ㅈ,ㅊ,ㅎ,ㅆ,ㄹ,ㅁ,ㅂ,ㅍ,ㅇ and 11 double consonant letters, which is called Gyeopbatchim: ㄳ,ㄵ,ㄶ,ㄺ,ㄻ,ㄼ,ㄽ,ㄾ,ㄿ,ㅀ,ㅄ can fill the final consonant location.
