Initial law

@Suzukaze-c: Re: diff" Not for the entry perhaps but FYI: Beginning-Sound Rule [두음법칙]. Haven't checked but they probably haven't covered cases like 공룡 (恐龍, gongnyong, “dinosaur”), common for both South and North, despite 룡>용, which complicates things even more, since "룡" is not in the word-initial position. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:33, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Regarding the entry, I thought that "intial law" is too vague. What "initial law"? What kind of law is this? Unfortunately there isn't an en.wp page that we can link to. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 04:37, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

As you can see there are three sets of initials, in the word-initial position affected:

1. ᄂ ("n")
2. ᄅ (r), case 1
3. ᄅ (r), case 2

Just a little info here. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:52, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

@Atitarev, Suzukaze-c The initial sound law can be summed up as follows:

1. Hanja syllables that begin with consonant ᄅ or ᄂ (n) are dropped (written as ᄋ) when followed by vowel ᅵ (i) or a y-initial diphthong (ᅣ, ᅤ, ᅧ, ᅨ, ᅭ, ᅲ (ya, yae, yeo, ye, yo, yu)).
2. Hanja syllables that begin with ᄅ (r) are replaced by ᄂ (n) when not followed by ᅵ (i) or a y-initial diphthong.
3. This law only applies to the first hanja syllable of a Sino-Korean compound word. Second until last syllable of a compound that begins with consonant ᄅ (r) or ᄂ (n) are not affected by this law. Exception: 렬, 률 (ryeol, ryul) are converted to 열, 율 (yeol, yul) if previous syllable ends with ᄂ (n) or a vowel. KevinUp (talk) 17:59, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Etymology

On December 13, 1930, the Joseon Language Society (조선어학회(朝鮮語學會) decided to enact a bill for the unification of the Korean orthography and prepared its first draft in December 1932. The members who participated in drawing up the original plan were Kwon Deok-gyu, Kim Yoon-kyung, Park Hyun-sik, Shin Myeong-kyun, Lee Guk-ro, Lee Byung-ki, Lee Yoon-jae, Lee Hee-seung, Jang Ji-young, Jeong Yeol-mo, Jeong In-seop and Choi Hyun-in. After that, six more members were added to the list, including Kim Sun-ki, Lee Gap, Lee Man-gyu, Lee Sang-chun, Lee Se-jeong and Lee Tak, to become 18.
