Who created 'Hangeul'?

‘Hangeul’ (=Korean Alphabet) was created by ‘King Sejong the Great’. Before ‘King Sejong’ created Hangeul, the Korean language could only be spoken, because there was no writing system.

Therefore, ‘King Sejong’ created Hangeul so that everyone could learn the language. Hangeul was invented in 1443 and introduced to the public in 1446. Korean is the only language with a writing system about which we know exactly when it began, who created it and why and how it was created.

'King Sejong' was the greatest king in korean history and loved his people.

He made a language system for the benefit of the common people. As the King launched forth into making a language system directly, the purpose of 'Hangeul' was clear. Therefore, its usefulness cannot be compared with other languages.

Hangul is easy to learn and be communicated as it is a set of phonograms.

Hangul has made Korean reading and writing without any problems. 

The Korean literacy rate is near the 100% percent mark.

‘King Sejong’

'Hangeul'(=Korean Alphabet) consists of 14-basic consonants and 10-basic vowels, so it is very easy to learn.
