Koreans use their own unique alphabet called Hangul. This alphabet was created under King Sejong (1418-1450) during the Choson Dynasty. The phonetic alphabet consists of 11 vowels and 14 consonants, which represent every sound in the Korean language. Even today it is considered to be one of the most efficient alphabets in the world.
