The Koreanlanguage

The Korean language is classified as a member of the Ural-Altaic family (other members of this family include the Mongolian,
Finnish, and Hungarian languages.) Until the early 1400s, most documents were written in classical Chinese characters (known in Korean as Hanja). As the idiographs are difficult to learn, only the educated people could read and write. King Sejong, the 4th ruler of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), set up a special committee of scholars in 1443 to create a new writing system specifically suited to the Korean language. The result was Hangul (meaning 'the one script'). It originally contained 28 symbols, although 4 have dropped out of use. The alphabet has 10 vowels and 14 consonants. The consonants represent the simplified outlines of the parts of the mouth and tongue used to pronounce them. The vowels are associated with elements of the philosophy of the Book of Changes. In 1994, Discovery magazine described Hangul as the most logical language writing system in the world. The simplicity of Hangul led Korea to become one of the most literate countries in the world. U.S. novelist Pearl Buck said that Hangul is the simplest writing system in the world and likenedKing Sejong to Leonardo da Vinci. Even though Hangul is a system of phonetic symbols, it is categorized as new level of feature system, the first and the only in the world. On Oct. 1, 1997, UNESCO designated Hunminjeongeum as world archive property. Koreans commemorate the creation of Hangul each year on October 9.
The Hangul Characters
Before you begin learning the language, you should take some time to practice writing Hangul. The symbols are combined into blocks, each one representing a single syllable. Each syllable must start with a consonant, although the iung is silent in the initial position. Text is arranged either in the traditional vertical fashion, with columns reading from right to left (as in some newspapers and old books) or in rows reading left to right (as in most modern novels and magazines). The alphabet may appear complicated, but it is actually easy to learn. Once you are familiar with the characters, looking up words in a
dictionary becomes easy. When speaking Korean, you use formal or informal words and phrases, depending on the status of the person to whom you are talking. For example, you generally use informal speech to children and formal speech to older people. It is better to err by being too formal rather than showing disrespect. However, Koreans do not expect foreigners to be fluent and will usually excuse minor mistakes. To aid the traveler and expatriate, Life in Korea has created several pages of useful phrases and vocabulary. To truly learn the Korean language, you should enroll in any of the numerous courses offered by Korean universities and private organizations. We also encourage you to try the excellent resources at Learn Korean Now.
About Hangul
King Sejong King Sejong was born in 1397, the third son of King Taejong, the third king of Korea's Joseon Dynasty, and QueenWongyeong. In 1418 he became the fourth King of the Joseon Dynasty. He was kindhearted, diligent, and placed a high emphasis on academics. His interests and talents were in many fields. He loved the Korean people and showed deep interest in their difficulties, ruling the nation with a righteous government.
King Sejong's portrait adorns Korea's 10,000-won bill.
He established Jiphyeonjeon to encourage study and nurture many talented individuals. He createdHunminjeongeum (the first name for Hangul and also the name of the Chinese commentary book onHangul), the foundation for taking Korea's culture to a higher level. He also installed Jujaso (a place for making type during the Joseon Dynasty) to progress development of typography by improving printing type (a more advanced printing type than the printing type developed in 1455 by Gutenberg). He improved agricultural and scientific technology by inventing and developingCheugugi (equipment to measure amount of waterfall) and a sundial. In military matters, he strengthened the national defense by placing military outposts in the North to protect from China and elsewhere for trading with Japan. His achievements in the fields of medicine, music, extensive compilation projects, and law helped establish a firm foundation for Korea as a nation. He died in 1450 and was buried in Yeongneung (Tomb) in Neungseo-myeon, Yeoju-gun, Gyeonggi-do (Historical Landmark 195). Hunminjeongeum Hunminjeongeum is the original name for Hangul, as well as the name of the Chinese commentary book on Hangul. Hunminjeongeum was completed in 1443 and distributed throughout Korea in 1446. The meaning of Hunminjeongeum is the "right sound to teach people of the nation." Originally, there were 28 letters, but these days only 24 letters are used. Intent and Process of the Creation of Hangul The sprit of the creation was written well in the introduction of Hunminjeongeum. The purpose was to create proper characters for writing the Korean language. Prior to this, Chinese characters
were used to write Korean. As addressed in the introduction of Hunminjeongeum, Chinese characters were not proper for writing Korean. So Hunminjeongeum was created to have the right characters for writing Korean. Also, Hunminjeongeum was easier to learn than Chinese characters, so it was created for the people who could not afford difficult Chinese lessons. It shows the independent spirit of Korean and sprit of valuing the nation's people. Jiphyeonjeon Jiphyeonjeon was academic research institute installed in the royal court in early Josenn Dynasty by King Sejong. Established in 1420 to establish ceremonies and systems rooted in the Confucian ways that the Joseon Dynasty was adopting for Korea, its purpose was also to cultivate talented individuals and stimulate an academic atmosphere. The process of creation was deeply rooted atJiphyeonjeon. The scholars of Jiphyeonjeon carried on the research of King Seojong's projects continuously. Jiphyeonjeon as the academic research institute had roles of storing and using books, developing academic activities, and preparing the consultation of the King. Scholars atJiphyeonjeon worked on compiling various books that became the model for politics for the following generations.

Numbers and Counting

Koreans use 2 different sets of cardinal numbers, depending on the situation- Korean numbers and Chinese numbers. Although they usually use Arabic numerals, sometimes Chinese characters are used for prices. Use the Korean forms for the number of items (1-99) and age: 2 children 5 bottle of beer, 27 years old. Use the Chinese forms for dates (but see below), money, addresses, phone numbers, and numbers above 100. Most Asian counting systems are based on increments of 10,000 rather than 1,000. For example, the number 100,000 is represented by "10 ten-thousands" rather than "100 thousands." As can be imagined, this causes much confusion for everyone when converting numbers between Korean and other languages. If you have any doubt, verify large numbers in writing (or on a calculator) and check the number of digits. That W500,000 antique chest may actually be W5,000,000! NOTES: If you see a lot of garbage on your screen, you need to set your Web browser to read Korean characters.
