Revised Romanization mistake[edit]
There are two pages on the Romanization of Hangeul (why? But that's not the problem right now). In one of them, the romanization of dyphthongs is correct but in the other, this one it is different than in the first, and plain wrong. I'm saying "wrong" based on the official rules to be found on the website of the National Institute of Korean Language. ㅘ is marked as oa (when it should be wa), ㅝ is marked as oae (when it should be wo) ㅚ is marked as oi (when it should be oe) and so on and so forth. I thought, before going in and changing it myself, to alert people, because it's important stuff. Shantimar (talk) 05:08, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- This one could use better references and even then seems to be of questionable notability on its own. It's rarely mentioned anywhere. But the lede makes it clear that this is supposedly a transliteration system predating the other prevailing system of a similar name (which reportedly has provisions both for transliteration and transcription). This one is simply not the one you are looking for. Although I don't know if it is described correctly or really existed in the first place. It would be great to have someone who can read Korean verify it. –MwGamera (talk) 18:41, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
Is this used outside of South Korea? How are the Romanizations pronounced?[edit]
I'm not familiar with Korean (I plan to study it), but I notice that this article fails to include two features/facts I was hoping for:
1. How to pronounce the Roman transliteration of each character in phonetics in American English (like "aw" for "eo", or audible). Such information would give me a start on pronunciation, even though with a poor accent.
2. What kind of transliteration is used currently in South Korea and by Koreans outside of South Korea, such as in North Korea and the USA. The article says nothing about this. David Spector (talk) 13:26, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- No, it's not used anywhere. The most common way of writing Korean in Latin alphabet outside of North Korea is the Revised Romanization of Korean which is the official romanization system in South Korea (and is distinct from the one described in this article). As for pronunciation, you wouldn't expect it to be described in detail in an article about a transliteration system. You can find a rough English approximation at H:IPA-KO while the details ought to be in Korean language § Phonology and Korean phonology. –MwGamera (talk) 18:41, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
