- Hangul (한글 — the Korean alphabet — invented 1443 CE by the most enlightened and the most comprehensively scholarly of all the Joseon dynasty monarchs: King Sejong the Great — 세종대왕 — reigned 1418-1450 CE) was invented as the most immediately practical solution to the most fundamental literacy problem of the Korean people: the most exclusively Sino-Korean written tradition (using Chinese characters — Hanja — the most comprehensively and the most immediately impractical writing system for the most Korean-speaking and the most grammatically non-Chinese population of the Korean peninsula — a writing system that: required the most extensive and the most time-consuming education to achieve the most basic functional literacy; excluded the most immediately important classes of Korean society — farmers, artisans, and women — from the most practical written communication; and most fundamentally failed to represent the most immediately important phonological features of the Korean language).
