Usage notes
[edit]The most widely used Korean country abbreviations generally follow a specific order.
- The abbreviation for "Korea", 한 (韓, han) in the South and 조 (朝, jo) in the North, always comes first.
- The above rule also applies to abbreviated forms of historical Korean dynasties: 나 (羅, na) for Silla, 여 (麗, yeo) for Goryeo, and 조 (朝, jo) for Joseon.
- 중 (中, jung), the abbreviation for China, comes before 일 (日, il), the abbreviation for Japan.
- In South Korea, 미 (美, mi), the abbreviation for the United States, usually comes before 중 (中, jung, “China”). In North Korea, the opposite is the case, and the hancha for 미 (mi) is 米 instead.
- Other abbreviations, such as 불 (佛, bul) for France or 러 (reo) for Russia, usually come after these four.
