Ok, since people have trouble reading Korean on games and translating them into English (a good example would be RO2 maps with the areas in Korean translated roughly into English) and other reasons. I'll start off with Korean keyboard layout.

Korean Typing - Layout

q - ㅂ

Shift + q - ㅃ

w - ㅈ

Shift + w - ㅉ

e - ㄷ

Shift + e - ㄸ

r - ㄱ

Shift + r - ㄲ

t - ㅅ

Shift + t - ㅆ

y - ㅛ

u - ㅕ

i - ㅑ

o - ㅐ

Shift + o - ㅒ

p - ㅔ

Shift + p - ㅖ

a - ㅁ

s - ㄴ

d - ㅇ

f - ㄹ

g - ㅎ

h - ㅗ

j - ㅓ

k - ㅏ

l - ㅣ(No, I didn't make a mistake)

z - ㅋ

x - ㅌ

c - ㅊ

v - ㅍ

b - ㅠ

n - ㅜ

m - ㅡ

How To Type & Structure Korean Letters and Characters
Korean letters also have vowels and constanants. The constanants in Korean (keyboard layout I meant) are q, shift + q, w, shift + w, e, shift + e, r, shift + r, t, shift + t, a, s, d, f, g, z, x, c, and v (the rest are vowels). Constanants always go first and vowels come after a constanant. To give you a basic idea of how to make a Korean character, the way you structure the constanants and vowels would be sort of like a sandwich or a half-sandwich (constanant-vowel-constanant = sandwich and constanant-vowel = half-sandwich; these are the only ways of combining letters to create a Korean character). Some examples of Korean "sandwich" characters: 법, 젖, 간, 김, and 겐. Some examples of Korean "half-sandwich" characters: 미, 나, 갸, 래, 재, 내, and 해. Once exception is 의 (one constanant, two vowels).

Korean Letter Sounds

ㅂ - A 'b' as in bee, bus, and beam

ㅈ - A 'zh' sound as in jeep, Jim, and jam

ㄷ - A 'd' sound as in dill, dildo, and dark

ㄱ - A 'g' sound as in gossip, gargle, and green

ㅅ - A 's' sound as in skip, screech, and scar

ㅃ - More emphasis, almost makes a 'p' sound (as in popcorn), but stays within the limits of the 'b' sound. A 'b~p' sound hybrid?

ㅉ - More emphasis, almost makes a 'ch' sound (as in chicken), but stays within the limits of the 'zh' sound. A 'zh~ch' sound hybrid?

ㄸ - More emphasis. I.e. pronounce 'duck' (this is ㄷ) then make it sound it like 'dduk' (this is ㄸ). Speed up the pronounciation basically.

ㄲ - More emphasis, almost makes a 'k' sound (as in kite), but stays within the limits of the 'g' sound. A 'g~k' sound hybrid?

ㅆ - More emphasis, almost makes a 't' sound (as in tea). A good example of the ㅆ sound would be 'tsete fly'

ㅛ - 'Yo' sound as in yo-yo

ㅕ - 'Yuh' sound as in yummy

ㅑ - 'Yaw' sound as in yawn

ㅐ - 'Ae' sound as in chemical

ㅔ - Same as ㅐ

ㅒ - 'Yae' sound as in yes

ㅖ - Same as ㅒ

ㅁ - 'M' sound as in monkey

ㄴ - 'N' sound as in no

ㅇ - Silent, but makes an 'ng' sound when at the end of a sandwich. I.e. 야 - just makes the 'yah' sound, 양 makes a 'yang' sound.

ㄹ - 'L' sound as in lion

ㅎ - 'H' sound as in hoe

ㅗ - 'Oh' sound as in no

ㅓ - 'Uh' sound as in much

ㅏ - 'Ah' sound as in 'Aight

ㅣ - 'Ee' sound as in meek

ㅋ - 'K' sound as in kill

ㅌ - 'T' sound as in tea

ㅊ - 'Ch' sound as in chicken

ㅍ - 'P' sound as in party

ㅠ - 'Yoo' sound as in you

ㅜ - 'Oo' sound as in moon

ㅡ - 'U' sound as in book

Now that you know how to read & type Korean, all you have to do now is to learn the Korean language. Spread this guide around to other forums that love Korean-licious games! Credits go to me for creating this guide and for creating the language (jk).

P.S. To Mods
When is my damn warning gonna go away? What did I get a warning for in the first place?

amazingly, korean language is probably one of those where i dont understand at all
from all the symboled-language if you know what im saying...with characters unlike "ABCD"

(reading)chinese i know a lil,japanese i know a lil but korean..not a thing..

even when ppl speak korean, sometimes i would tink it was japanese 0.o

+Rep for epic post.

And I think only you and the mods can see your warning after it has expired.

This should be stickied. It'll be useful for some ONRPG members.

코츠 파러 싶세키

한국말 is ez

한국말 is easy for us because we're 한국인's (though some don't know how to speak or write it), but it's harder for others.

How the hell do you type it though? Also what does ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (basically repeats) mean? And ㄱㄱ

o.O You just type it
I.e. 안영 - dksdud
ㅋㅋㅋ is a Korean version of 'lol' and ㄱㄱ means 'Go go' or 'Good Game'

I copy and pasted :P. ok well i was guessing ㄱㄱ meant go go since thats what the lil emote says in game o.o

Ahhh, I see. You should go to control panel and go into Regional and Language Options (classic view for XP) and click on the Languages tab on the top, and check the box 'Install files for East Asian languages'. You should have the little box that has 'EN' on the bottom of your screen. Click on the box and change it to 'KO' and press alt and then you're ready to type in Korean!

P.S. I'm not sure, but you might have to put the 'Standards and formats' to Korean and 'Language for non-Unicode programs' to Korean also ('Standards and formats' is under the 'Regional Options' tab 'Regional and Language Options' and 'Language for non-Unicode programs' can be found under the 'Advanced' tab under 'Regional and Language Options'.

I press alt...and nothing happens o.o Am i suppose to hold it down or something.

nvm i found out

Ok. I just need to know a couple words i can say. just like basics. like

hello
bye
thanks
sorry
ill add to it ^^.

so far i have
ㄱㄱ
ㅋ
ㅅㄱ <-- do those mean good game?

Hello - ㅎㅇ
Bye - ㅂㅂ or ㅂ2
Thanks - ㄳ
Sorry - ㅈㅅ
And yes, ㅅㄱ means 'good game'

awesome post dude. This should be stickied.

How do I get this stickied?

코츠 파러 싶세키

한국말 is ez

O_oO_o
What the heck did you just type? lol What the heck is 코츠 파러??? dont tell me 코츠 is the man's private part? if it is, you spelled it wrong~ (not gonna type the correct word here...people shouldn't learn dirty words...)

korean is not that easy to learn...i mean...there are the basic alphabet letters, then you gotta use the add-ons and such to form even 1 word. The part you said about ㅋㅋㅋㅋ, thats usually used in internet blogs or games or when chatting. Can't use that to write an essay or in an newspaper~

but then, who here would use korean words for other means besides chatting in-game??? So..i guess this is acceptable.

Helpful addition: How to say "Help me"
도와주세요
eh-dhk-wn-tp-dy
you dont need to include the dashes. Hope it helps~ :3

Lol does this make any sense? 나는spooge에 사랑한다

/bump

reason being this thread deserves a stickie (at least in the Foreign MMORPGs section). Those people who have accounts in a korean game can use this guide to chat with people (if you wish)

Lol does this make any sense? 나는spooge에 사랑한다

Is spooge a person, place, or thing?

What you are saying right now is that you love at spooge.



The particle(forgot what the romanized for is called) is a big part of Korean language.

****에 (**** is like a variable, replace with a noun) is used to describe a place.


instead of 에, you should used 를/는/가/이 (forgot which one to use) if spooge is a person or thing.
Edit: Actualy, im 50% certain it's 이 that you should be using instead 에.

Gay, you need your Windows XP CD to install the language things.

ohh.. I was wondering why I already had mine installed....


i just found out I have japanese type on my computer too!!!!
and chinese... but not way to change to japanese and chinese type mode....
