han-geul

See also: hangeul and Hangeul

English

Noun

han-geul (uncountable)

  1. Alternative spelling of Hangeul

Usage notes
  • The spelling hangeul/Hangeul is from the Korean spelling in the 1959-SK transcription and the 2000 South Korean Revised transcription. Hangul derives from the older McCune-Reischauer transcription hangŭl written without the diacritics: it is the more common English spelling.
  • Within the English Wiktionary, han-geul is preferred because it is in accordance with South Korea's Revised Romanization of Korean and with Wikipedia's conventions for Korean language, and because the hyphen clarifies syllabization and pronunciation of 한글 as /han.ɡɯl/, as opposed to */haŋ.ɯl/ (*항을, *hang-eul).
