Alphabet + Korea ?


한글, Hangeul
The native alphabet of the Korean language, as distinguished from the logographic Sino-Korean hanja system. It was created in the mid-fifteenth century, and is now the official script of both North Korea and South Korea. Hangeul has also been adopted by some as a replaement writing system for the Austronesian Cia-Cia language.

English vs Hangeul?
- Hangeul contains diversity of onomatopoeias and mimetic words unlike English and or other foreign languages.
- It also contains honorific expressions to respect the elders and express considerate personality of genuine Koreans.
Traditional vs. Modern?
- When hunmin Chongum, the correct sounds for the Instrution of the people for Korea's new writing system, was created in 1446, there were 4 more characters compared to today's Hangeul.
- Modern days, with the use of internet and cell phone, newly-coined words are created.
It's Korean because,
It is invented by Korea's king, Sejong the Great, with his genuine philosophy of making his people able to read and write.
