In North Korea, the alphabet is known as Chosŏn'gŭl [a] (North Korean: 조선글), and in South Korea, it is known as Hangul [b] (South Korean: 한글 [c]). [3] [4] [5] The letters for the five basic consonants reflect the shape of the speech organs used to pronounce them.
This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Korean on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Korean in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them.
These were distinguished when Hangul was created, with the jamo ㆁ with the upper dot and the jamo ㅇ without the upper dot; these were then conflated and merged in both the North Korean and South Korean standards. /ŋ/ can technically occur syllable-initially, as in 명이, which is written as /mjʌŋ.i/, but pronounced as /mjʌ.ŋi/.
ㅙ is one of the Korean hangul. This compound vowel is ㅗ + ㅐ. To pronounce this vowel, shape your mouth to make the ㅗ sound. Then start to say the ㅗ sound and while quickly saying the ㅐ sound. The resulting sound is ㅙ (wae) as in ‘wedding’. [1]

Yale writes some pure vowels as digraphs. Vowels written to the right in Hangul (ㅏ, ㅓ) are written as a or e, and vowels that are written below (ㅗ,ㅜ,ㆍ, ㅡ) are wo, wu, o or u. Yale indicates fronting of a vowel (Middle Korean diphthongs), written in Hangul as an additional ㅣ, with a final -y. Palatalization is shown by a medial -y-.
Also, in many cases, pronunciation does not exactly match what is written in Hangul; similar phenomena occurs with all other major scripts as well. For example, due to linguistic assimilation, the state Silla is written in Korean as 신라 (sin-la), but pronounced sil-la. [21] Some challenges were social and geopolitical.
