The Han-gul is......

 

    The Korean language is classified as a Ural-Altaic language, a group which also includes Mongolian, Hungarian, and Finnish. The Korean character system, "han-gul", is completely different from and independent of Chinese and Japanese. 'Han-gul' was developed by a group of scholars under the patronage of King Sejong in 1443. It is composed of 10 vowels and 14 consonants. This unique phonetic alphabet is well-known for its scientific syllabic system that allows great freedom of expression. The chart below presents the 24 han-gul letters and their romanized equivalents.
   This romanization system is based closely on the McCune-Reischauer(M-R) system and followed in this publication. M-R romanization differs substantially from that of English and may take a little while to get used to. (There are some vowel and consonant sounds that English does not have.)
