      A Quick Introduction to the Korean Language

      The Korean writing system, known as Hangul, was invented by King Sejong in 1443 and was published in 1446. Hangul was invented to make Korean easy to read; it had only 28 letters and so could be learned by anyone in only a few days. This phonetic writing system is made up of consonants resembling the shape of the mouth and tongue as they form the corresponding sounds.

      Before Hangul was invented, Chinese characters (called Hanja) had been used for writing Korean. They are still used in combination with the Korean alphabet, mainly in the newspapers, magazines, academic papers and official documents. Today, a typical South Korean high school student has to memorize 1,800 Hanja before graduating.

      The invention of Hangul enabled Koreans from all classes—not only the aristocracy—to learn to read and write. The Koreans celebrate this extraordinary development with a national holiday, Hangul Day, which falls on October 9.
