3. About Korean Yale Romanization

3.1. Basic Rule

1) Consonants

Hangul	Romanized
ㄱ	k
ㄲ	kk
ㄴ	n
ㄷ	t
ㄸ	tt
ㄹ	l
ㅁ	m
ㅂ	p
ㅃ	pp
ㅅ	s
ㅆ	ss
ㅇ	ng*
ㅈ	c
ㅉ	cc
ㅊ	ch
ㅋ	kh
ㅌ	th
ㅍ	ph
ㅎ	h

*only for 'ㅇ' in coda position. 'ㅇ' in onset position does not have any sound.

2) Vowels

Hangul	Romanized
ㅏ	a
ㅓ	e
ㅗ	o
ㅜ	wu*
ㅡ	u
ㅣ	i
ㅐ	ay
ㅔ	ey
ㅚ	oy
ㅟ	wi
ㅑ	ya
ㅕ	ye
ㅛ	yo
ㅠ	yu
ㅒ	yay
ㅖ	yey
ㅘ	wa
ㅙ	way
ㅝ	we
ㅞ	wey
ㅢ	uy

*If 'ㅜ' is posited after bilabial sounds /ㅂ, ㅃ, ㅍ/, 'ㅜ' is romanized as 'u.', It is because that 'ㅜ' and 'ㅡ' is neutralized after bilabial sounds.

3.2. Notation for Middle Korean

1) Consonants

Hangul	Romanized
ㅸ	W
ㅹ	WW*
ᄛ	L*

*These notations are not in the standard Yale Romanization.
**This notation of 'ㅇ' is only for 'ㅇ'[ɦ].
