This question is very weird..?


..umm...can i ask how many characters are there in the korean language?? ..how to pronounce each of them??..

if possible can u pls introduce me the characters(or letters) in here?

no, the question is not weird...
there are 14 consonants and 10 vowels in Korean Language (頃滉竴 Hangul)
consonants: 銊?g), 銊?n), 銊?d), 銊?r), 銋?m), 銋?b), 銋?s), 銋?no sound), 銋?j), 銋?ch), 銋?k), 銋?t), 銋?p), 銋?h)
vowels: 銋?"ah" as in when you're screaming from monsters "A"HHH), 銋?"yah" as in when youre breaking board in karate Hai-"YAH"),銋?"uh" as in american pronounciation, not british, "A"LRIGHT), 銋?yuh as in "YA" ' LL not 'you all' but YA'll), 銋?oh as in "Oh" i didnt know that!), 銋?(yo as in "Yo" whats up), 銋?(ooh as in "Ooh"-La-La), 銋?(yoo as in "You!"), 銋?(Eu as in "E"RRRR! im mad!!!),銋?ee as in "ea"t your rice)

so for example if you put 銊?which makes "g" sound) and 銋?which makes "ah" as in "A"HHH when screaming from monsters) together it will be GAH (which will sound similar to God without the D sound at the end...)

in this case when consonant is at the bottom, like 臧? 氚? 毵? 鞖?. the consonant in the bottom will make different sound...
銊?will make "k" sound
銊?will still make "n" sound
銊?will still make "d" sound
銊?will make "l" sound
銋?will still make "m:" sound
銋?will make "p" sound
銋?will make "t" sound
銋?will make "ng" sound
銋?will make "j" sound
銋?not sure T_T but im guessing "t"
銋?"k" sound probably???
銋?"t" sound i guess
銋?not sure T_T but im guessing "p"
銋?silent "h" sound...

so 臧?(which means angle) would be pronounced Gahk
氚?(which means rice) "Bahp"
鞖?(which means dragon) Yong
毵?(taste) Maht

ALSO, there are 銊?銊?銋?銋?銋?.. they jus have stronger accent... so, 銊?that makes "g" sound will make double k sound when its 銊?.. its hard to describe but they sound bolder...? lol

also there are 銋?銋?銋?銋?銋?銋?銋?銋?... but i think this will confuse u unless u got all the 頃滉竴 basics...

Nothing is weird about your question : )

if you want to learn Korean check out this site by the Language Education Institute of Seoul National University:

http://lei.snu.ac.kr/english/pages/SD000...

it will help you learn the language & the korean culture.

btw, about your question, there are 19 consonants & 21 vowels, a total of 40 letters. 24 are classified as basic letters and the remaining 16 are compounds formed from these basic letters.

hope that helps! :)

well there is lie thirty something..
and not like english, you can connect them in anyways so there are alot of different pronounciation
there are characters that mostly represent vowels
and some that represents consanents.
so yeah..

This web site has very useful resources on learning the Korean alphabet. There are several websites out there, but this one goes into more detail than most.

I hope this helps.

This question is not weird, but would take too long to answer.
