Hangeul (한글)

I think that the language is one of the basic components of a culture. That's why I think that I need to talk a bit about Korea's languange: Hangeul.

Hangeul (한글) is the name of the Korean alphabet. It was created by King Sejong in the 15 th century.

The Korean alphabet is made of symbols which represent heaven, earth and the human figure (ㅇ,ㅡ, ㅣ). Hangeul is written horizontally from left to right, and vertically from top to bottom. The alphabet has 14 consonants and 10 vowels. Here's a chart showing all the characters of the alphabet:
