Korean Grammar Guidebook

Аннотация

The Korean alphabet (called "Hangul" in Korean) was developed by a team of scholars under KingSe-jong(1397-1450) of the YiDynasty and is the most recently invented and most scientifically designed alphabet in the world. "Hangul" has only 21 vowel/vowel combinations and 19 consonants, 5 of which are the same symbol repeated twice and 5 of them are simply a consonant with the addition of an accent mark. That makes a total of only 30 basic character shapes to be learned.
