Introduction to Korean

Korean is spoken in South Korea and North Korea. There

are many Korean speakers in China, the United States,

and Japan, too. About 75 million people speak Korean.

The Korean alphabet is called Hangul. It was invented in

the 1400s.

North and South Korean have small differences but

mostly follow the same system. The language may be

related to Japanese or to Altaic languages. These include

Turkic and Mongolian. But scholars are not sure.

The Hangul alphabet has 24 letters. There are 14

consonants and 10 vowels. Consonants have angled or

curved lines. Vowels have horizontal or vertical lines.

Consonants and vowels stack together into square blocks

to make syllables. Syllables come together to make words.

A syllable is pronounced differently based on the syllables

around it. One system for writing Korean using Roman

letters is Revised Romanization.
