Vowels in grammatical <a href="/wiki/Morpheme" title="Morpheme">morphemes</a> changed according to their environment, falling into groups that "harmonized" with each other. This affected the <a href="/wiki/Morphology_(linguistics)" title="Morphology (linguistics)">morphology</a> of the language, and Korean phonology described it in terms of <i>yin</i> and <i>yang</i>: If a root word had <i>yang</i> ('bright') vowels, then most suffixes attached to it also had to have <i>yang</i> vowels; conversely, if the root had <i>yin</i> ('dark') vowels, the suffixes had to be <i>yin</i> as well. There was a third harmonic group called mediating (neutral in Western terminology) that could coexist with either <i>yin</i> or <i>yang</i> vowels. </p><p>The Korean neutral vowel was <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅣ</span></span> <i>i</i>. The <i>yin</i> vowels were <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅡㅜㅓ</span></span> <i>eu, u, eo</i>; the dots are in the <i>yin</i> directions of down and left. The <i>yang</i> vowels were <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆍㅗㅏ</span></span> <i>ə, o, a,</i> with the dots in the <i>yang</i> directions of up and right. The <i>Hunmin Jeong-eum Haerye</i> states that the shapes of the non-dotted letters <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅡㆍㅣ</span></span> were chosen to represent the concepts of <i>yin</i>, <i>yang</i>, and mediation: Earth, Heaven, and Human. (The letter <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆍ</span></span> <i>ə</i> is now obsolete except in the Jeju language.) </p><p>The third parameter in designing the vowel letters was choosing <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅡ</span></span> as the graphic base of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅜ</span></span> and <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅗ</span></span>, and <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅣ</span></span> as the graphic base of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅓ</span></span> and <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅏ</span></span>. A full understanding of what these horizontal and vertical groups had in common would require knowing the exact sound values these vowels had in the 15th century. </p><p>The uncertainty is primarily with the three letters <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆍㅓㅏ</span></span>.

Two positive vowels (<span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅗ ㅏ</span></span>) including one <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆍ</span></span> are followed by two negative vowels including one <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆍ</span></span>, then by two positive vowels each including two of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆍ</span></span>, and then by two negative vowels each including two of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆍ</span></span>. </p><p>The same theory provides the most simple explanation of the shapes of the consonants as an approximation of the shapes of the most representative organ needed to form that sound.

The rest of the letters were derived internally from these six, essentially as described in the <i>Hunmin Jeong-eum Haerye</i>. However, the five borrowed consonants were not the graphically simplest letters considered basic by the <i>Hunmin Jeong-eum Haerye</i>, but instead the consonants basic to Chinese phonology: <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㄱ</span></span>, <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㄷ</span></span>, <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅂ</span></span>, <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅈ</span></span>, and <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㄹ</span></span>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">古篆</span></span> has never been identified. The primary meaning of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">古</span></span> <i>gǔ</i> is old (Old Seal Script), frustrating philologists because the Korean alphabet bears no functional similarity to Chinese <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">篆字</span></span> <i>zhuànzì</i> <a href="/wiki/Seal_script" title="Seal script">seal scripts</a>. However, Ledyard believes <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">古</span></span> <i>gǔ</i> may be a pun on <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">蒙古</span></span> <i>Měnggǔ</i> "Mongol", and that <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">古篆</span></span> is an abbreviation of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">蒙古篆字</span></span> "Mongol Seal Script", that is, the formal variant of the 'Phags-pa alphabet written to look like the Chinese seal script. There were 'Phags-pa manuscripts in the Korean palace library, including some in the seal-script form, and several of Sejong's ministers knew the script well. If this was the case, Sejong's evasion on the Mongol connection can be understood in light of Korea's relationship with <a href="/wiki/Ming_dynasty" title="Ming dynasty">Ming</a> China after the fall of the Mongol <a href="/wiki/Yuan_dynasty" title="Yuan dynasty">Yuan dynasty</a>, and of the literati's contempt for the Mongols.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

But in contrast to the traditional account, the non-plosives (<span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆁ ㄴ ㅁ ㅅ</span></span>) were derived by <i>removing</i> the top of the basic letters. He points out that while it is easy to derive <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅁ</span></span> from <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅂ</span></span> by removing the top, it is not clear how to derive <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅂ</span></span> from <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅁ</span></span> in the traditional account, since the shape of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅂ</span></span> is not analogous to those of the other plosives.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (March 2021)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>The explanation of the letter <i>ng</i> also differs from the traditional account. Many Chinese words began with <i>ng</i>, but by King Sejong's day, initial <i>ng</i> was either silent or pronounced <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ŋ]</span> in China, and was silent when these words were borrowed into Korean. Also, the expected shape of <i>ng</i> (the short vertical line left by removing the top stroke of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㄱ</span></span>) would have looked almost identical to the vowel <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅣ</span></span> <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[i]</span>. Sejong's solution solved both problems: The vertical stroke left from <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㄱ</span></span> was added to the null symbol <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅇ</span></span> to create <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆁ</span></span> (a circle with a vertical line on top), iconically capturing both the pronunciation <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ŋ]</span> in the middle or end of a word, and the usual silence at the beginning. (The graphic distinction between null <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅇ</span></span> and <i>ng</i> <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆁ</span></span> was eventually lost.) </p><p>Another letter composed of two elements to represent two regional pronunciations was <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅱ</span></span>, which transcribed the Chinese <a href="/wiki/Syllable_onset" class="mw-redirect" title="Syllable onset">initial</a> <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">微</span></span>. This represented either <i>m</i> or <i>w</i> in various Chinese dialects, and was composed of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅁ</span></span> [m] plus <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅇ</span></span> (from 'Phags-pa [w]). In 'Phags-pa, a loop under a letter represented <i>w</i> after vowels, and Ledyard hypothesized that this became the loop at the bottom of <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅱ</span></span>. In 'Phags-pa the Chinese initial <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">微</span></span> is also transcribed as a compound with <i>w</i>, but in its case the <i>w</i> is placed under an <i>h</i>.

stands alone to represent elements of the Korean language. Instead, letters are grouped into <a href="/wiki/Syllable" title="Syllable">syllabic</a> or <a href="/wiki/Morpheme" title="Morpheme">morphemic</a> blocks of at least two and often three: a consonant or a doubled consonant called the <i>initial</i> (<span lang="ko">초성, 初聲</span> <i>choseong</i> <a href="/wiki/Syllable_onset" class="mw-redirect" title="Syllable onset">syllable onset</a>), a vowel or <a href="/wiki/Diphthong" title="Diphthong">diphthong</a> called the <i>medial</i> (<span lang="ko">중성, 中聲</span> <i>jungseong</i> <a href="/wiki/Syllable_nucleus" class="mw-redirect" title="Syllable nucleus">syllable nucleus</a>), and, optionally, a consonant or consonant cluster at the end of the syllable, called the <i>final</i> (<span lang="ko">종성, 終聲</span> <i>jongseong</i> <a href="/wiki/Syllable_coda" class="mw-redirect" title="Syllable coda">syllable coda</a>). When a syllable has no actual initial consonant, the <a href="/wiki/Zero_consonant" title="Zero consonant">null initial</a> <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅇ</span></span> <i>ieung</i> is used as a placeholder. (In the modern Korean alphabet, placeholders are not used for the final position.) Thus, a block contains a minimum of two letters, an initial and a medial. Although the Korean alphabet had historically been organized into syllables, in the modern orthography it is first organized into morphemes, and only secondarily into syllables within those morphemes, with the exception that single-consonant morphemes may not be written alone. </p><p>The sets of initial and final consonants are not the same. For instance, <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅇ</span></span> <i>ng</i> only occurs in final position, while the doubled letters that can occur in final position are limited to <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅆ</span></span> <i>ss</i> and <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㄲ</span></span> <i>kk</i>. </p><p>Not including obsolete letters, 11,172 blocks are possible in the Korean alphabet.<sup id="cite_ref-86" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-86"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Letter_placement_within_a_block">Letter placement within a block</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hangul&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: Letter placement within a block"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The placement or stacking of letters in the block follows set patterns based on the shape of the medial. </p><p>Consonant and vowel sequences such as <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅄ</span></span> <i>bs,</i> <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅝ</span></span> <i>wo,</i> or obsolete <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅵ</span></span> <i>bsd,</i> <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㆋ</span></span> <i>üye</i> are written left to right. </p><p>Vowels (medials) are written under the initial consonant, to the right, or wrap around the initial from bottom to right, depending on their shape: If the vowel has a horizontal axis like <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅡ</span></span> <i>eu,</i> then it is written under the initial; if it has a vertical axis like <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅣ</span></span> <i>i,</i> then it is written to the right of the initial; and if it combines both orientations, like <span title="Korean-language text"><span lang="ko">ㅢ</span></span> <i>ui,</i> then it wraps around the initial from the bottom to the right: </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1216972533">.mw-parser-output .col-begin{border-collapse:collapse;padding:0;color:inherit;width:100%;border:0;margin:0}.mw-parser-output .col-begin-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .col-break{vertical-align:top;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .col-break-2{width:50%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-3{width:33.3%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-4{width:25%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-5{width:20%}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .col-begin,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr>td{display:block!important;width:100%!important}.mw-parser-output .col-break{padding-left:0!important}}</style><div> <table class="col-begin" role="presentation" style="width: auto;"> <tbody><tr> <td class="col-break"> <table> <tbody><tr align="center"> <td style="width:30px; background:#faa; height:60px;">initial</td> <td style="background:#afa; width:30px;">medial </td></tr></tbody></table> </td> <td class="col-break" style="padding-left: 1em;"> <table> <tbody><tr align="center"> <td style="width:60px; background:#faa; height:30px;">initial </td></tr> <tr align="center"> <td style="background:#afa; height:30px;">medial </td></tr></tbody></table> </td> <td class="col-break" style="padding-left: 1em;"> <table> <tbody><tr align="center"> <td style="width:30px; background:#faa; height:30px;">initial </td> <td style="background:#afa; width:30px;" rowspan="2">med.<br />2 </td></tr> <tr align="center"> <td style="background:#afa; height:30px;">med. 1 </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>  </p> </td></tr></tbody></table></div> <p>A final consonant, if present, is always written at the bottom, under the vowel.

Due to liaison, heavy consonant assimilation, dialectal variants and other reasons, a Korean word can potentially be spelled in multiple ways. Sejong seemed to prefer <a href="/wiki/Morphophonology" title="Morphophonology">morphophonemic</a> spelling (representing the underlying root forms) rather than a <a href="/wiki/Phoneme" title="Phoneme">phonemic</a> one (representing the actual sounds). However, early in its history the Korean alphabet was dominated by phonemic spelling. Over the centuries the orthography became partially morphophonemic, first in nouns and later in verbs. The modern Korean alphabet is as morphophonemic as is practical.
