Hangul (with Mouse Romanization)

Language/Korean

All Hangul letters used for writing the contemporary Korean, along with Romanization systems I made. Audio and the IPA notation for pronunciation included.

Note: Some letters have the same pronunciation due to the vowel shift over time since Hangul was invented, since which the spelling did not change.

Note 1: The pronunciations of some phonemes in most, if not all, languages are not always the same. For instance, the ⟨t⟩ in ⟨tie⟩ does not sound the same as the ⟨t⟩ in ⟨water⟩ in American English. Korean is no exception, and it has its own rules.

In the Korean language, there is something that resembles a pitch accent system: high and low pitch syllables.

  1. The last syllable of a sentence is a high pitch if the sentence is a question. It's a low pitch when it's a statement.
  2. The second syllable is a high pitch.
  3. Phonemes ⟨k⟩, ⟨t⟩, ⟨p⟩, ⟨c⟩, and double letters are pronounced with a high pitch.
  4. Phonemes ⟨q⟩, ⟨d⟩, ⟨d⟩, ⟨j⟩ are pronounced as a low pitch /k/, /p/, /t/, ⟨c⟩ when they are the first letter.
  5. Phonemes ⟨q⟩, ⟨d⟩, ⟨d⟩, ⟨j⟩ are pronounced like /g/, /b/, /d/, /j/, when they are not the first or the last letter.
  6. Phonemes ⟨q⟩, ⟨d⟩, ⟨d⟩, ⟨j⟩, ⟨s⟩, ⟨c⟩, ⟨x⟩ are pronounced like /k/, /p/, /t/, /t/, /t/, /t/, /t/, but without releasing the sound, when they are the last letter.

As such, this deck writes e.g. ⟨d⟩ as [˩tʰ-], [-d-], [-t̚] and ⟨t⟩ as [˥tʰ-].

There are more regular pronunciation rules, but this is sufficient to be understood clearly.
