Nuri Hangeul Challenge Category

  • The Nuri Hangeul Transcription System is a writing system proposed by the Hangeul Nuri Foundation. It is based on the principles of Hunminjeongeum and modern Hangeul, and allows people to write various world languages phonetically using Hangeul.
    We have started with four languages—English, Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese—and plan to expand to many more in the future.
    You can refer to these systems to sing or tell a story in your native language, and transcribe it using your own version of Nuri Hangeul to participate in the challenge.

Additional Notes on the Challenge

  • Old Hangul Keyboard

    Some characters used in the Nuri Hangeul Transcription System cannot be typed using a standard keyboard. Old Hangeul letters that are not part of modern Hangeul can be entered by installing the Old Hangul Keyboard (instructions below).
    For characters that cannot be typed even with the Old Hangul keyboard, you may write them by hand and insert them as images or use the character images provided in each language’s Nuri Hangeul Transcription System guide.
