Usage notes

• The spelling hangul from the McCune-Reischauer transcription hangŭl is the more common English spelling, though hangeul (from the Korean spelling in the 1959-SK transcription and the 2000 South Korean Revised transcription) is sometimes preferred.
• 한글 (han'geul) is the official name in South Korea, and 조선(朝鮮)글 (joseon'geul) is the official name in North Korea; hence, scholars may prefer to use hangeul in reference to South Korea, and Chosongul in reference to North Korea.

Alternative forms
