Talk:Romanization of Korean

replies: text: I think I've added the entry. As far as I recall, it was based on one of the PDF tables or another article, without any background information. I guess the people over at the 조선민주주의인민공화국 과학원 would be happy to provide more information if somebody asked them, though. Wikipeditor 20:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Any guesses as to whether , where not in a “noun”, should be -ryeota- or -ryeotha- in RR? The rules only mention “ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, and ㅈ”, but not ㅅ, so I used -th- in the table. Wikipeditor 13:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the official explanation is less than honest about the "noun" business (예: 잡힘); but anyway... I think that 뚜렷하다 is more akin to words like 같이 and 잡히다 than to compounds like 오죽헌, and so would lean toward t in this case.   One could make a good argument either way, though, as far as I can tell. -- Visviva 13:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

text: NB:  The Korean version specifies the no-h version for 체언, an evil grammatical term generally translated as "substantive," not noun.  If I understand it right, something like 입학 is a substantive, even when it is (arguably) part of a verb in 입학하다 (so we would write "iphakhada" and not "ipakada").  On the other hand, 뚜렷하다 isn't a substantive by any stretch, and 뚜렷 isn't even a word by itself... so I'm sticking by "tturyeotada."  Still, one wishes we had more thorough guidelines.  -- Visviva 14:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Planning to add Korean free transliteration online service (http://www.latkey.com/translit) which conforms to wiki guidelines, is free and it makes sense to have it here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DanIssa (talk • contribs) .
:It does not matter if it's "free" or "useful". Linking to download sites for Microsoft Office plugins to use the online service of a company is not appropriate. There is no encyclopedic content on the site, and it does promote other products of that comany. If you reference  and the corresponding user contributions, you'll see that there were repeated attempts to place links in several articles, despite all warnings not to re-add them (including the ignored warning on your own talk page). Not only to the transliteration service but also to the company main page, with link descriptions promoting the keyboard stickers. You will not add any more links to latkey.com, i-keyboard.com, or related domains. Femto 13:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Even if it were legitimate (which it is not), a link would do more harm than good, as your site's automated conversion leaves a lot to be desired. It is neither RR nor any other system. Wikipeditor 20:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

 Foreigners Get Confused Over Current System

thread_title:  Opinions 

message: Is there a computer input method that allows one to type in Revised Romanization, and the text appears in hangul (the way I do with pinyin in the Simplified Chinese IME from Microsoft)? The Korean IME doesn't seem to allow for this, and the hangul keyboard configuration takes time to figure out. If not, is there a way I could reconfigure the hangul keyboard so the letters match the English keyboard? Thanks, Badagnani (talk) 04:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Based on these Wikipedia definitions: 
"Transliteration attempts to be exact, so that an informed reader should be able to reconstruct the original spelling of unknown transliterated words." 
"Transliteration is opposed to transcription, which specifically maps the sounds of one language to the best matching script of another language." 
I changed, in the "Examples" chart, "RR transliteration in brackets" to "RR transcription in brackets", since the bracketed examples are phonetic representations.Jrmcconvey (talk) 00:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transliteration versus transcription 

message: Korean romanization was recently in the news: . At the moment the article is ill-structured to integrate this and I have little time at the moment, but perhaps another editor could fit it in well. FYI. Bendono (talk) 15:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potential reference 

message: Any chance an IPA column could be added to the table, to compare the romanizations with the actual sounds [more or less...IPA is about the closest approximation there is]? I know the IPA and I'm familiar enough with Hangul that I could make guesses at a lot of these, but it would really be better if an actual Korean speaker did it. rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 20:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I had heard about the new DPRK twitter account when I noticed that "우리 민족끼리" was romanized "uriminzokkiri". I wondered if this "z" was a typo at first but it seemed consistent across the other accounts they made. So I looked up the official DPRK website (very 'Web 0.5') when I got to their geography page:
Understandably I was a tad confused as to what those represent but I think I figured them out:
:
DPRK  	Hangeul	RR     	 	DPRK     	Hangeul  	RR          	 	DPRK     	Hangeul	RR
Fungso	풍서     	Pungseo	 	Onsong   	온성       	Onseong     	 	Jamkiong 	함경     	Hamgyeong
Mara  	마라     	Mara   	 	Namzezu  	남제주      	Namjeju     	 	Zezu     	제주     	Jeju
Bidan 	비단     	Bidan  	 	Riongchon	룡천/용천    	(R)yongcheon	 	Piong-an 	평안     	Pyeongan
Doh   	(도)    	       	 	Ulung    	울릉       	Ulleung     	 	Kiongsang	경상     	Gyeongsang
Amrok 	압록     	Amnok  	 	Duman    	두만       	Duman       	      	         	       	
As I finish the table I realize other pages on the website have yet more names romanized this way, of course. So my question: what is this romanization system? What is its history? I don't see it anywhere on Wikipedia, to my knowledge anyway. - MK (t/c) 06:19, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other North Korean variant romanization schemes 

message: Early in the article we're told "'romaja' is not to be confused with 'romanization'". So why are "romaja" (and "romacha" in McCune/Reischauer) given in the information box on the right as direct translations of "romanization"? That seems to imply that the terms at least overlap to a great extent, or that "romaja" has two separate meanings, as indicated in the two definitions given in the main text. Either way, I'm sure this could be expressed more clearly!213.127.210.95 (talk) 14:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
