Program lat2kor.exe ( latin-to-korean )
(C) P. Nieto 1998 Version 1.2 28-9-1998
This is a program to transliterate from the latin alphabet to korean,
starting from an alphabetic string almost equivalent to the transcription
of the figurative pronounciation in korean. ( MSDOS, VGA 640x480, 16 gr. )
The equivalence is not posible at 100% because the korean alphabet is,
in many cases reductive, that is, some combinations of letters give only
one sound in a non-unique form, in such a way that those sounds could
also be generated in some other way, either the value changes according to
the position.
The program works in guided mode, allowing only the letters that are
permited by the korean ortograph. The letters are grouped in monemes,
either lexemes or morphems, following the six basic models explained further.
Backspace is not permitted. Every moneme is separated from the following
with a dash or comma and every word to another with space. (not implemented)
This is an incomplete version, as demonstration, to construct one only
moneme every time. The complete version will be published when avaliable.

Structure of the korean writing
The Korean writing is alphabetic, but the characters are not written
in a lineal fashion. They are instead grouped inside an almost square area,
following a given order. The characters can be grouped if they form one moneme
(lexeme or afix) according to korean etymology, but they can also be
grouped arbitrarily to write foreign words.
This writing is, rather than alphabetic, monematic o monemic.
The general structure of the monemes is this: ccvvcc , where the only
condition is that one vowel at least should be present, according to this
table:

Phonetics: b,ch,d,g,h,j,k,m,n,p,s,t,y,w ,like in english; a,e,i,o,u like in
spanish or italian; r and l soft; ng in final position only nasalizes the
previous vowel; doubled letters give stronger sound; letters with ' sound
aspirated; si, like shi; sy like sh; • is o ,but alike a; the pair oe like
german ”; -‰i like german -i; ‰ like the final french e. When the word
begins with a vowel, the place of the first consonant is filled by a circle
(null symbol). Note that the "y" sounds as in "yes" and has no proper
symbol.
