Hangul

edit

Koreans may believe that Hangul is ideal. But it is quite defective in fact. Above all, long and short vowels are unsaid.

  • Maybe not best
    • No difference from long and short vowels.

Arae-a

edit

ː Arae-a (아래아)

The Revised Romanization of Korean (RR) does little justice to old Korean language.

The Roman /v/ shall romanize the uniquely outlawed vowel /ㆍ/, namely 아래아 (arae-a). Accordingly, the hangul for hvi ("sun"), for example, may be put  (in italic),  (in bold face),  (underlined),  (stroked), or even  (stroked). The basical  should be self-evident.
