On October 9th, it was 'Hangul's anniversary. 'Hangul' is the Korean alphabet. It was King Sejong that invented 'Hangul'. Thank to him, many Korean people use the hangul letters to read and write every day.
I think that 'Hangul' is the greatest invention. Many scientists said that 'Hangul' is the most scientific letter system in the world because it expresses all of its sounds perfectly. 'Hangul' consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels. If you know 24 letters, you can express all that you want to say. How surprising the Korean alphabet system is!
Another reason is that 'Hangul' is easy to read and write. King Sejong invented 'Hangul' for the people who didn't know any letter system. King Sejong thought that anyone, including women, should know how to read and write with these letters. So King Sejong made 'Hangul' so that it would be easy to learn. After that, everyone was able to easily read books and write letters.
Recently, the Jjia-Jjia tribe, which is an Indonesian minority race, selected 'Hangul' as their official letter system. I hope that many nations that don't have a letter system for their language select 'Hangul' as their official letter system.
