King Sejong introduced Hangul as Hunminjeongeum in 1443 to make Korean easier to write; a 1446 guide explained the system. The guide used Chinese sound categories, and scholars debate whether the ʼPhags-pa script, made for the Mongol empire, influenced Hangul. Hangul became Korea's official national writing system in 1894.
