Hangul syllable Ryeolg

It contributes one written syllable to a Korean word. The sequence ㄹ + ㅕ + ㄺ joins an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final cluster. In Korean, a syllable-ending consonant is called a batchim; this double batchim can sound different depending on the next syllable. Read 렭 inside its word to know the pronunciation.

Why was Hangul created?

It was designed to make Korean easier to write and learn. Hangul was created in 1443; an explanatory book about the writing system, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446. It offered a more accessible way to write Korean for people who found Chinese-character-based methods difficult to learn.
