Hunminjongum is the Korean alphabet which was independently created on the basis of the long-standing experience of writing customs of the Korean people.
The name Hunminjongum literally signifies that it is an excellent alphabet recording correct sounds for teaching the people.
It was created by renowned scholars of Jiphyonjon, a national agency for authoring important books during the feudal Joson dynasty, under the personal direction of the dynasty’s fourth king Sejong in 1444.
It can express all syllables properly as it was created on the basis of an in-depth study of interrelationship between sounds and letters and consonants and vowels of the Korean language.
The Korean alphabet is also able to express almost all the sounds of any other foreign languages in the world.
It was made on the unique principle of imitating the shape of human speech organs. The creators made the main letters in the shapes of such speech organs as the tongue, lips and throat that change according to each sound and, on that basis, systematized their derivatives as well.
Hunminjongum is easy to learn and convenient to write and has many other advantageous features.
