Can you name all 24 letters of the Korean Hangul alphabet?
Hangul (한글) is one of the most ingeniously engineered writing systems in human history. Commissioned by King Sejong the Great and promulgated in 1446, it was deliberately designed to be learnable by anyone in a matter of hours — a radical contrast to the Chinese characters that had dominated Korean writing for centuries before.
Modern Hangul has 24 basic letters: 14 consonants (자음) like ㄱ (giyeok), ㄴ (nieun), ㅁ (mieum) and 14 more, plus 10 vowels (모음) like ㅏ (a), ㅓ (eo), ㅗ (o). Consonant shapes mirror the position of the mouth, lips and tongue; vowels combine three philosophical strokes (heaven, earth, person). Every Korean K-pop lyric, drama subtitle and street sign in Seoul is built from these 24 building blocks.
You have 3 minutes to type the romanized name or paste the symbol for each letter. Common transliterations are accepted. Will you nail the perfect 24/24?
