Hangul is the Korean alphabet, consisting of letters that are categorized into consonants and vowels. The components of Hangul are as follows:
- Consonants: There are 14 basic consonants (ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅎ).
- Vowels: There are 10 basic vowels (ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ, ㅡ, ㅣ).
Hangul letters combine to form syllabic blocks, each consisting of at least one consonant and one vowel. This system is phonetic, making it easy to learn and use.
