 Diphthongs with /y/
A diphthong is a vowel which has two vowel sound qualities in one
syllable. Two semivowels, /y/ and /w/ are used for Korean diphthong vowels.
They always precede the simple vowels (on-glide). Diphthongs with /y/ is made
by adding one extra stroke to each of the six simple vowels.

Simple Vowels

ㅏ ㅓ ㅗ ㅜ ㅐ ㅔ
Diphthongs with [y]

ㅑ ㅕ ㅛ ㅠ ㅒ ㅖ
/ya/ /yə/ /yo/ /yu/ **/yae,ye/
 Diphthongs with /w/
There are six diphthongs beginning with the sound /w/. The Korean
vowel letters ㅗ and ㅜ are used to represent the semivowel sound /w/.

Simple vowel + Simple vowel = Diphthong

ㅗ + ㅏ = ㅘ wa

ㅗ + ㅐ = ㅙ we

ㅗ + ㅣ = ㅚ we

ㅜ + ㅓ = ㅝ wə

ㅜ + ㅔ = ㅞ we

ㅜ + ㅣ = ㅟ wi

ㅡ + ㅣ = ㅢ **
 Diphthongs with /w/

1. Combinations of ㅗ + ㅓ , ㅗ + ㅔ , ㅜ + ㅏ , and ㅜ +
ㅐ are not permitted in Korean although either may combine with the
neutral vowel ㅣ .

2. The letters ㅙ , ㅚ , and ㅞ , which used to be pronounced

differently, are now pronounced identically, although the distinction is
kept in writing.

3. The diphthong ㅢ is unstable and is pronounced as ㅡ or

ㅢ (in word-initial position not preceded by a consonant) and ㅣ (in
non-initial position and after a consonant in initial position).

PRONUNCIATION RULES
When one syllable is followed by another syllable, the pronunciation of the
second syllable can occur in one of four ways.

1.Liason

밥이

The syllable which ends in a consonant is followed by a syllable which

starts with a vowel, the syllable-final consonant of the preceding syllable
must be carried over to the next syllable- initial position.
2.Glottalization
When the syllable-final consonant of the first syllable ends in the
consonants ' ㄱ , ㄲ , ㅋ , ㄷ , ㅌ , ㅂ , ㅍ , ㅅ , ㅆ , ㅈ , ㅊ ' and the second
syllable begins with ' ㄱ , ㄷ , ㅂ , ㅅ , ㅈ ', the syllable-initial consonant
of the second syllable is pronounced with the glottalized sound, ' ㄲ , ㄸ ,
ㅃ , ㅆ , ㅉ '.

ㄷ ,ㅌ ,ㅅ ,ㅆ ,ㅈ ,ㅊ ,ㅎ [ㄷ ]

3.Literalization

When the consonant ' ㄹ ' meets ' ㄴ ' ( in either a ' ㄴㄹ ' or ' ㄹㄴ '
combination), ' ㄴ ' is changed into ' ㄹ‘ .
 4. Nasalization

When the syllable-final consonant of the first syllable ends in the

consonants ' ㄱ , ㄲ , ㅋ , ㄷ , ㅌ , ㅂ , ㅍ , ㅅ , ㅆ , ㅈ , ㅊ ' and the
syllable-initial consonant of the second syllable begins with ' ㄴ , ㅁ ', the
preceding consonants must be changed according to the following rule:

Ending Consonant Pronunciation

ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ [ ㅇ ]
ㅂ, ㅍ [ ㅁ ]
ㄷ, ㅌ, ㄸ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, [ ㄴ ]
ㅊ, ㅎ
ㄱ , ㅋ , ㄲ -> [ ㅇ ]
