Hunminjeongeum 훈민정음

About

Hunminjeongeum (Korean: 훈민정음; Hanja: 訓民正音; lit. 'The Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People') is a 1446 work that formally introduced the first native Korean alphabet. That alphabet was originally also called "Hunminjeongeum", although it is now widely called "Hangul" (international spelling; spelled in South Korea "Hangeul") or "Chosŏn'gŭl" (in North Korea). The term Hunminjeongeum is used in a number of different ways, often due to the various editions and sections of the text.
