Shin Suk-ju Korean: 신숙주; Hanja: 申叔舟; August 2, 1417 – July 23, 1475) was a Korean politician during the Joseon period. He served as Prime Minister from 1461 to 1466 and again from 1471 to 1475. He came from the Goryeong Shin clan (고령 신씨; 高靈 申氏).
Shin was an accomplished polyglot, and was particularly well educated in the Chinese language.[1] He served as a personal linguistic expert to King Sejong, and was intimately involved in the creation and application of the Korean alphabet known in modern times as Hangul.[1] Shin used the newly created hangul system to create an accurate transcription of spoken Mandarin Chinese in 15th century Ming dynasty China.[1][2] These transcriptions haven proven accurate and reliable, and his transcriptions are now "an invaluable source of information on the pronunciations of Ming-era [Mandarin]."[1]
