Excerpt: Hangul ( ; Korean: ¿¿ Hangeul/Han'gul (in South Korea)) or Chosongul (Korean pronunciation: ; Korean: ¿¿¿ Choson'gul/Joseongeul (in North Korea)) is the native alphabet of the Korean language, as distinguished from the logographic Hanja and phonetic systems. It was created in the mid-15th century, and is now the official script of both North Korea and South Korea, being co-official in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province, People's Republic of China and currently proposed as an official script for the Cia-Cia language of Buton, South East Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Hangul is a phonemic alphabet organized into syllabic blocks. Each block consists of at least two of the 24 Hangul letters (jamo), with at least one each of the 14 consonants and 10 vowels. These syllabic blocks can be written horizontally from left to right as well as vertically from top to bottom in columns from right to left. Originally, the alphabet had several additional letters (see obsolete jamo). For a phonological description of the letters, see Korean phonology. The word hangeul, written in Hangul North Koreans prefer to call it Choson'gul (), for reasons related to the different names of Korea.The original name was Hunminjeongeum (¿¿¿¿; ¿¿¿¿; see history). Due to objections to the names Hangeul, Choson'gul, and urigeul (¿¿¿) (see below) by the Korean minority in Manchuria, the otherwise uncommon short form jeongeum may be used as a neutral name in some international contexts. Until the early twentieth century, Hangul was denigrated as vulgar by the literate elite who preferred the traditional hanja writing system. They gave it such names as: However, these names are now archaic, as the use of hanja in writing has become very rare in South Korea and completely phased out in North Korea.
