Alphabetization

Several sequences are in use. Sequences of the first type are common in South Korea, differing on the treatment of double jamo consonants in syllable-initial (choseong) and -final (jongseong) position; the second sequence is official in North Korea.

South Korea:

• Consonant letters: ㄱ (ㄲ) ㄴ ㄷ (ㄸ) ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ (ㅃ) ㅅ (ㅆ) ㅇ ㅈ (ㅉ) ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ
• Vowel letters: ㅏ ㅐ ㅑ ㅒ ㅓ ㅔ ㅕ ㅖ ㅗ ㅘ ㅙ ㅚ ㅛ ㅜ ㅝ ㅞ ㅟ ㅠ ㅡ ㅢ ㅣ

North Korea:

• Consonant letters: ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ‑ᆼ (= final) ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ ᄋ‑ (= initial)
• Vowel letters: ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ ㅐ ㅒ ㅔ ㅖ ㅚ ㅟ ㅢ ㅘ ㅙ ㅝ ㅞ

South Korea

• ㄱ giyeok 기역
• ㄲ ssanggiyeok 쌍기역
• ㄴ nieun 니은
• ㄷ digeut 디귿
• ㄸ ssangdigeut 쌍디귿
• ㄹ rieul 리을
• ㅁ mieum 미음
• ㅂ bieup 비읍
• ㅃ ssang bieup 쌍비읍
• ㅅ siot 시옷
• ㅆ ssangsiot 쌍시옷
• ㅇ ieung 이응
• ㅈ jieut 지읒
• ㅉ ssangjieut 쌍지읒
• ㅊ chieut 치읓
• ㅋ kieuk 키읔
• ㅌ tieut 티읕
• ㅍ pieup 피읖
• ㅎ hieut 히읗

North Korea

• ㄱ kiŭk 기윽
• ㄲ toen'giŭk 된기윽
• ㄴ niŭn 니은
• ㄷ tiŭt 디읃
• ㄸ toendiŭt 된디읃
• ㄹ riŭl 리을
• ㅁ miŭm 미음
• ㅂ piŭp 비읍
• ㅃ toenbiŭp 된비읍
• ㅅ siŭt 시읏
• ㅆ toensiŭt 된시읏
• ㅇ iŭng 이응
• ㅈ chiŭt 지읒
• ㅉ toenjiŭt 된지읒
• ㅊ ch'iŭt 치읓
• ㅋ k'iŭk 키읔
• ㅌ t'iŭt 티읕
• ㅍ p'iŭp 피읖
• ㅎ h'iŭt 히읗

Consonant names in the 15th century seem to have ended in a vowel, judging from 1451 Hunmin Jeongeum Eonhae's forms such as "ㄱ는", which may have been pronounced geuneun /그는/.

Obsolete variants

• ㅁ: miom 미옴
• ㅂ: biop 비옵
• ㅈ: jyat 쟛
• ㅇ: iheung 이흥, ihoeng 이횡, ihəing 이ᄒᆡᆼ, i 이
