How are letters created?
Letters within Hangeul consists of the following form: ‘vowel’, ‘consonant + vowel’, ‘consonant
+ vowel + consonant’. The consonant that comes after the vowel in the form ‘consonant +
vowel + consonant’ is called ‘Batchim’, which refer to consonant bases.

Consonants
The consonants are based on the shape of the vocal organs. The lips, throat, tongue, gums and teeth
were used to form the shape, and this was to help remember the pronunciation. The principles were based
on the first five consonants (ㄱ, ㄴ, ㅁ, ㅅ, ㅇ). The first sound ‘ㄱ’ refers to the shape of the root of the
tongue blocking the throat. ‘ㄴ’ refers to the tongue stuck to the upper gums.
‘ㅁ’ refers to the shape of the lips, ‘ㅅ’ refers to
the shape of a tooth, and ‘ㅇ’ refers to the shape
of the throat.
By adding a stroke to these basic consonants, we can form letters with stronger pronunciation. Moreover,
by adding the same letter, we can also create ‘ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ.’
