Korean writing system

The Korean writing system, called Hangul, is a phonetic alphabet created in the 15th century to accurately represent Korean sounds. It consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels, which are combined into syllabic blocks that form words. These blocks are written horizontally or vertically, each representing a single syllable. Hangul is designed to be logical and easy to learn, allowing for efficient and precise communication. Its systematic structure reflects Korean phonology, making it both a practical and culturally significant script.
