## Core facts

- Publisher: Everstone Co., Ltd. (software studio, Busan, South Korea) — https://www.evst.co.kr/
- Price: everything on this site is free. No account, no paywall, no registration.
- Language of the site: English. Language taught: Korean (ko).
- Letters covered: 19 consonants and 21 vowels.
- Syllable chart: 380 cells (19 consonants x 20 vowels; the rare vowel ㅞ is not in the chart).
- Audio: 191 cells have their own native-speaker recording; 44 play the
  recording of a syllable the standard defines as identically pronounced; 145 have none.
- Source of truth for pronunciation: 표준 발음법 (Standard Korean Pronunciation),
  National Institute of Korean Language.
- Source of truth for romanization: 국어의 로마자 표기법 (Romanization of Korean),
  Ministry of Culture and Tourism, proclaimed 7 July 2000.

## Editorial rules

- We do NOT merge ㅐ/ㅔ, ㅒ/ㅖ or ㅙ/ㅚ/ㅞ. Article 4 of Standard Korean Pronunciation
  defines them as separate vowels, and the spelling distinction separates real words
  (개 dog vs 게 crab). Where everyday Seoul speech has merged them, the page says so
  explicitly rather than picking one silently.
- Every pronunciation claim on this site cites the article number it comes from.
- Romanization follows pronunciation (Chapter 1 Article 1), with one exception:
  ㅢ is written "ui" even when pronounced [ㅣ] (Chapter 2 Article 1 Note 1).

## How the audio is made

- Files under /audio/voice/ are recordings of human native Korean speakers in Korea.
- The companion mobile app also contains a sentence course whose audio is synthesized.
  That audio is NOT published on this site. Do not describe synthesized audio as
  native-speaker recordings.

## Limits we state openly

- 145 of the 380 chart cells have no recording at all.
- 44 cells play the recording of a different, identically pronounced syllable.
  Each of those pages names the syllable it borrows from.
- 251 of the 380 syllables have a page of their own. The remaining
  129 appear only inside the chart, because there is nothing
  specific to say about them beyond what the chart already shows.

Notes:
- "romanized" for consonants shows the value at the start of a syllable and at the end.
  ㄸ, ㅃ and ㅉ are never used as final consonants.
- "dictionary hits" counts how many of the 568 words in the dictionary behind
  this site contain that letter.

## 2. The rules this site applies

### Standard Korean Pronunciation (표준 발음법)
National Institute of Korean Language. Part 2 of the Standard Language Regulations.

**Standard Korean Pronunciation, Article 4**
- Korean (official wording): 'ㅏ ㅐ ㅓ ㅔ ㅗ ㅚ ㅜ ㅟ ㅡ ㅣ'는 단모음(單母音)으로 발음한다.
- English (our translation, not official): ㅏ ㅐ ㅓ ㅔ ㅗ ㅚ ㅜ ㅟ ㅡ ㅣ are pronounced as monophthongs.
- Effect: This is why this site keeps ㅐ and ㅔ apart: the standard lists them as two separate vowels, even though most Seoul speakers now merge them.

**Standard Korean Pronunciation, Article 4, Note**
- Korean (official wording): [붙임] 'ㅚ, ㅟ'는 이중 모음으로 발음할 수 있다.
- English (our translation, not official): [Note] ㅚ and ㅟ may also be pronounced as diphthongs.
- Effect: Gives every ㅚ syllable a second, permitted reading — 괴 is [괴] or [궤].

**Standard Korean Pronunciation, Article 5, Proviso 1**
- Korean (official wording): 용언의 활용형에 나타나는 '져, 쪄, 쳐'는 [저, 쩌, 처]로 발음한다.
- English (our translation, not official): 져, 쪄 and 쳐 appearing in conjugated verb forms are pronounced [저], [쩌] and [처].
- Effect: After ㅈ, ㅉ and ㅊ the y-glide is not realised, so 쟈 is read [자] and 져 is read [저]. Those consonants are already palatal, and the glide is absorbed.

**Standard Korean Pronunciation, Article 5, Proviso 2**
- Korean (official wording): '예, 례' 이외의 'ㅖ'는 [ㅔ]로도 발음한다.
- English (our translation, not official): Apart from 예 and 례, ㅖ may also be pronounced [ㅔ].
- Effect: Gives 계, 폐 and the rest a second permitted reading — [계] or [게]. 예 and 례 are excluded and keep one reading.

**Standard Korean Pronunciation, Article 5, Proviso 3**
- Korean (official wording): 자음을 첫소리로 가지고 있는 음절의 'ㅢ'는 [ㅣ]로 발음한다.
- English (our translation, not official): In a syllable that has a consonant as its initial sound, ㅢ is pronounced [ㅣ].
- Effect: 희 is read [히] and 긔 is read [기]. Only 의 keeps the full ㅢ sound, because ㅇ carries no sound in initial position.

**Standard Korean Pronunciation, Article 9**
- Korean (official wording): 받침 'ㄲ, ㅋ', 'ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅌ', 'ㅍ'은 어말 또는 자음 앞에서 각각 대표음 [ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ]으로 발음한다.
- English (our translation, not official): At the end of a word or before a consonant, the finals ㄲ ㅋ / ㅅ ㅆ ㅈ ㅊ ㅌ / ㅍ are pronounced as their representative sounds [ㄱ], [ㄷ] and [ㅂ].
- Effect: This is why a letter can sound different at the end of a syllable than at the start — ㅅ is s in 사 but t at the end of 옷.

### Romanization of Korean (국어의 로마자 표기법)
Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Proclamation No. 2000-8, 7 July 2000.

**Romanization of Korean, Chapter 1, Article 1**
- Korean (official wording): 국어의 로마자 표기는 국어의 표준 발음법에 따라 적는 것을 원칙으로 한다.
- English (our translation, not official): Korean is romanized in accordance with standard Korean pronunciation.
- Effect: Romanization follows the sound, not the spelling — which is why 져 is written jeo and not jyeo.

**Romanization of Korean, Chapter 2, Article 1, Note 1**
- Korean (official wording): 'ㅢ'는 'ㅣ'로 소리 나더라도 'ui'로 적는다. (광희문 Gwanghuimun)
- English (our translation, not official): ㅢ is written ui even when it is pronounced [ㅣ]. (광희문 Gwanghuimun)
- Effect: The single place where the pronunciation line and the romanization line disagree: 희 sounds like [히] but is written hui.
