Hanja didn’t fade away, it straight up got banned in the 70s

[@bloopbird7057]

The ban in the 70s was a big part of the demise of hanja, but it is true that hanja was gradually fading away long before the 70s. Besides, korean orthography, especially regarding the usage of hanja was very unstable during the past century, with there being little to no standardizaiton on how and when hanja and hangul should be used together. Even in the early 20th centry, people often wrote using exclusively hangul. The place of hanja in korean orthography based on hangul was never as concrete as kanji was in japanese kana writing.

[@wanderingson]

@@bloopbird7057 no, the South Koreans always used hanja up until they suddenly couldn’t, Japanese sometimes in history wrote exclusively in hiragana but the doesn’t mean kanji was in decline. There was no “decline” of hanja like you say it was and you don’t elaborate about the hanja being unstable. It was a sudden move by the government to push this bizarre nationalism to the point where Koreans can’t even read there own historical literature or artifacts.

[@unquietthoughts]

Uhh South Korean here, we still learn Chinese Characters and Basic Classical Chinese at school. Of course it is true that the government largely reduced the usage of Hanja in the 70s, that it was straight up banned is far from true.

[@spiralingspiral72]

i would say "shadow banned", as learning hanja doesnt put you into prison in both koreas, its just that you are left to learn hanja on your own with no government support

The peasants in medieval Korea: *can't find a way to spread literacy* Chad King Sejong the Great: Allow me to introduce myself it's honestly amazing how one man devised an entire writing system for a language and it almost hasn't changed in 600 years, that's how you know he did a good job

[@bedrock6443]

I mean to be fair the language did change. Because originally there were markings for tones next to the letters. But the alphabet simplified it way easier. It must have taken a long time to make these simple letters because hanja had to be studied in order for the sounds to be grouped into one. And having tone marks suggests that the language would de tonalize.

[@evfnyemisx2121]

@@bedrock6443 True, Middle Korean had sounds that were lost in modern Korean, like /z/ and /ɒ/, that's why ㅿ and ㆍ aren't used anymore, and as you said, the tones but here's the funny thing: Seoul Korean is actually undergoing tonogenesis again, getting tones from neutralization of the distinction between plain, tense and aspirated stops - which means that soon, Korean may have a whole new way of marking tone in Hangul. It's all fascinating, really

[@bedrock6443]

@@evfnyemisx2121 welp so if I go to Seoul in like give or take 30 years the language would be completly different from how I knew it before. So I might have to learn the language in a different way.

[@bedrock6443]

Better start documenting how the language works before it dies out.

[@evfnyemisx2121]

​@@bedrock6443 I wouldn't say it would be "completely different", language change is a dynamic thing that happens overtime and you would probably still be easily understood, you would just sound like an old person or someone from outside the capital, like today Koreans have mostly lost their vowel length distinctions in the South, but some older speakers still distinguish them

[@watonsedlee2825]

Thanks for making such an interesting and in-depth video! 6:34 ス makes a 'su' sound in Japanese. Thus, after learning Japanese for years, I sometimes get tempted to pronounce the Korean 'ㅈ' as 's' when it is written in a way that is similar to ス. 9:53 '빨리' is the correct way to spell the word if I remember correctly.

[@SK-zi3sr]

I’d be the opposite it’s weird for a similar symbol to make the S sound when I’ve always recognised it as making the j/z sound

[@bloopbird7057]

few minor corrections: 1. the images included as 'korean written with hanja' are actually both korean texts written in literary chinese. 2. the only time hangul was banned was a brief period during the reign of the king yeonsan-gun (燕山君). It didn't even last half a year, and the ban was issued entirely because of a letter written in hangul (known as unmun (諺文) at the time) was found criticizing the king. Mostly reactionary, mostly fruitless. Hangul was already widely in use at the time (1504), completely ingrained in the culture of the pesantry as well as the elite. Besides, the script was invented by the dude's great-great grandfather. In a cartoonishly confucian society as the Joseon dynasty, there was no way you could get away with dissing your ancestors work like that. The Joseon court continued to publish books written in hangul for the masses long after sejong died. 3. Hangul didn't become 'official again' in 1894; It started being used in official government capacity. It's crucial to understand that this was a move to use written korean as a primary literary medium in the nation, since before then, most, if not all literary and academic activity was done in classical chinese. Korea at the time had proclaimed itself the 'Korean Empire', trying to distance itself from chinese control. The 'hangul text' of this era, namely the 1890s to the 1910s or so, was basically classical chinese written in korean word order with hangul particles and endings sprinkled in. It was a sort of 'literary korean' that hadn't existed before, and has not existed since. 4. 일요일 is sunday, not monday.

[@jeff__w]

As a learner of Korean, every time I read Hangul, I’m astonished at how elegant it is (to use the word in the description). I almost have to stop myself from thinking it’s some artificial auxiliary phonetic writing system (like Bopomofo for Mandarin) and not the _actual_ writing system for Koreans by Koreans-amazingly developed in the mid-15th century! Just the act of reading it is immensely satisfying. I can’t imagine how whoever invented Hangul-King Sejong himself or in collaboration with scholars, or the scholars themselves on his command-felt when things began to fall into place _systematically_ and a stroke here signified aspiration and the doubling of consonants there meant tense (in a Korean language sense) and so on. It must have seemed miraculous, even to the one (or those) doing the inventing. That said, I _don’t_ subscribe to any notion of Hangul “supremacy.” It’s not the best writing system ever, even if it is a marvel of human invention-it’s just superbly suited, as it should be, for Korean.

[@FirstLast-tp8bm]

The only thing you may have missed is that many Korean people (such as my family) do NOT pronounce the /w/, /j/, or /ɥ/ semivowels in consonant clusters, so they pronounce "dwae" "hwe" and "gye" like "dae" "he" and "ge." For example, my mom pronounces "jeon-hwa-gi" (telephone) as "jeon-a-gi" (the /h/ disappears sometimes). edit: FYI, this is NOT just "dialectical" even if other Korean people want to debate me. You will encounter this across all dialects and age groups, it is just as common as "t-flapping" in American English.

[@gtc239]

Actually that's a dialectical thing.

[@macsungminson3583]

[@brianonscript]

The tense obstuents of Korean are phonetically similar to voiceless unaspirated obstruents of many languages. For example, Korean ㅆ 'ss' is pretty much indistinguishable from the [s] of most languages including English. It is the word-initial lenis obstruents that are more unique cross-linguistically, which isn't obvious from the common practice (followed in this video) of representing them with the unadorned IPA symbols /p/, /t/, /k/, /s/ etc. It is probably better to think of them as underlyingly voiced obstruents that surface as soft, weakly aspirated obstruents at the start of an utterance. The phonetic description of allophones followed in this video are a bit of a mess. The allophones of ㅎ /h/ are approximants, so using the fricative symbols is misleading. If we really want to be precise, we could write them as [j̊] before /i/ or /j/, as [ɰ̊] or [x̞] before /ɯ/, and as [ʍ] before /o/, /u/, or /w/ (it says 'after' in the video, but it should be 'before'). Using actual fricatives [ç], [x], and [ɸʷ] as in the video sounds excessive. Also, the allophone of ㅋ in 키 is hardly [cç] and is closer to [kʲj̊], which is clear if you compare it to languages that use actual palatal stops or affricates. Word-initial denasalization is phonetically a very interesting phenomenon, but generally it doesn't mean that /m/ and /n/ completely turn to [b] and [d]. Pronouncing 너, 나, as [dʌ], [da], etc. as in 12:30 won't be understood outside of context. The conditions for denasalization are not completely understood, and not all speakers have denasalization, so it shouldn't be understood as an obligatory rule by any means. Learners can ignore this completely beyond being aware that it's something they might hear.

[@mchagawa1615]

Fascinating! Thank you for the coverage

[@gasun1274]

The Hangul Jamo Unicode block was there because of two reasons: 1. Interoperability with the existing Korean Industrial Standard encoding 2. Font rendering was very primitive Type designers brute force Hangul by manually composing each possible block, instead of operating with a smart common font renderer that will dynamically generate jamo. They still do this today because of habit, even though OpenType and Harfbuzz are more than capable for dynamic jamo composition already.

[@mmiramm]

It was not because of the habit. Back in 90s, there was a huge debate about Hangul encoding in Korea. All of a sudden, Microsoft (THE Microsoft you know, an American company) adopted the system which provided the basis of the current Unicode system because they thought it was manageable to do so at the time, with the limited computing resources. So even though the Korean government, even now, chose two different systems, one of which does not use such "brute forcing," most of Koreans simply can't use it; first, even the current version of Windows 11 doesn't have it, and Unicode adopted the way Microsoft chose.

[@mmiramm]

Plus, many people as well as the Korean government back then insisted that Microsoft made a bad decision and they should include the other way, which was able to dynamically compose characters. They just didn't listen. :)

[@brianonscript]

몇월 and 몇억 being pronounced like [멷월] and [멷억] respectively are treated as regular pronunciations, because the surfacing of the coda consonants occurs only when they are followed by vowel-initial particles, not when they are followed by free morphemes. The 사이 시옷 (sai siot) may be pronounced as [t̚] before an obstruent, but in most cases it only indicates the tensification of said obstruent. Korean dictionaries will indicate both pronunciations as correct, so 햇빛 can be either [해삗] or [핻삗], and 찻집 can be either [차찝] or [찯찝] (although these last two would only be distinguishable in deliberate pronunciation). For a long time, the only standard pronunciation of 효과 did not have tensification, so it was pronounced [효과]. Lots of people pronounced it as [효꽈] anyway, so both pronunciations were eventually recognized as correct. Pronouncing 네가 as [니가] (which by the way you are not advised to pronounce as [diga] unless you're sure you can get the Korean denasalized /n/ right), is not considered standard so it should have been included with the colloquial irregular forms. By contrast, the irregular pronunciation of the genitive particle -의 as [에] is recognized as standard.

[@Akaykimuy]

you should mention how many speakers merge, to some extent, the ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, ㄱ and ㅍ, ㅌ, ㅊ, ㅋ sounds resulting in a pitch distinction due to vowels following ㅍ, ㅌ, ㅊ, ㅋ being pronounced at a higher pitch (the pitch distinction is there even if the consonants are not merged, but the merger makes this the only way to tell them apart)

[@blockyneko6143]

12:05 I think 잎 used to be 닢 but started to get pronounced 잎 on it's own but in compound words it kept the 닢 pronunciation but the spelling is changed to 잎 in 꽃잎 dispite the pronunciation staying the same

My favorite part about Hangül is that its featural structure makes it particularly suited to be extended to other languages... and in fact that was attempted at least once, with Hyun-Bok Lee's proposal for an "International Korean Phonetic Alphabet", or IKPA. There's also the case of Cia-cia, an Indonesian language that tried using Hangül as it uses several semivowels unavailable in standard Latin alphabets.

[@mmiramm]

By the way, I am wondering what is the source of the statement "later kings banned the use of Hangeul." I've read similar comments from KZbin several times, but there are no such historical records that I can find. The statement "later kings banned the use of Hangeul" itself is also really contradictory by itself, if you know the history of Joseon dynasty. The inventor was not just a commoner; it was King Sejong whose sons, grandsons, grand-grandsons, and so on were the kings you mentioned. All the later kings were descendants of this very King Sejong, and filial piety was considered the highest priority and ethics at the time. Banning what their ancestor invented was highly unlikely. On top of that, later kings themselves even used Hangeul. There are numerous letters left, which later kings, their mothers, daughters, and their high ranking officials wrote in Hangeul. I think some myth of "the-later-kings-banned-Hangeul" was born because the Joseon dynasty didn't use Hangeul for official documents, resulting that western readers assumed that Hangeul was banned and forbidden to use.

[@official-obama]

I GUESSED CORRECTLY!

[@brianonscript]

Korean was indeed written with Hanja prior to the invention of Hangul, but there's a lot more to say about that. For the most part, it wasn't really pure Korean that was written, but a hybrid written language blending Classical Chinese and Korean used by lowel-level bureaucrats. Or it could be Korean particles and connectors added to Classical Chinese text to aid in their comprehension. The only real exceptions are about two dozen poems. Exactly how Chinese characters were used to write Korean is quite a complicated topic, but it's a process that both inspired and parallelled the development of the kana syllabaries for Japanese. Throughout pre-modern Korean history, the prestige written language has always been Classical Chinese, and as other commenters have pointed out, the pictures shown at 1:13 are writings in Classical Chinese, not Korean. Also as other commenters have pointed out, the statement that later kings banned Hangul is a gross exaggeration at best. There was a brief ban by one king (in reaction to an anonymous poster criticizing him in Hangul) that didn't stick.

"다이" and "데이" as dialectal variants of (iirc) -다 and -데.
