  The image I've uploaded outlines the structure of Korean syllables and demonstrates how they are formed using consonants and vowels. In Korean, a syllable typically comprises at least one consonant and one vowel, and syllables are arranged in blocks. Here's a detailed explanation in English, with an analysis of the syllables '나', '노', '아', '오', '밥', '문', '안', and '웅', along with five examples for each type: Consonant + Vertical Vowel (CV) 나 ('na') 'ㄴ' ( n ) is the consonant. 'ㅏ' (a) is the vertical vowel. 다 ('da'): 'ㄷ' (d) + 'ㅏ' (a) 가 ('ga'): 'ㄱ' (g) + 'ㅏ' (a) 마 ('ma'): 'ㅁ' (m) + 'ㅏ' (a) 자 ('ja'): 'ㅈ' (j) + 'ㅏ' (a) Consonant + Horizontal Vowel (C V) 노 ('no') 'ㄴ' ( n ) is the consonant.

  ■ 한글창제의 원리_자음 창제의 원리      (Principles of Hangul Creation_Principles of Consonant Creation) T he Korean alphabet, Hangul, was developed with a unique principle that relates the shapes of its consonants to the parts of the mouth used to pronounce them. Here's a detailed explanation in English to help foreigners learn and appreciate the ingenious design behind Hangul: The consonants in Hangul were initially created to mimic  the shape of the mouth and tongue when making their sounds.  This makes Hangul highly phonetic and easy to learn.

'ㄴ' resembles the tongue touching the roof of the mouth, thus called a "Lingual" sound. 'ㅁ' takes the shape of the lips and is called a "Labial" sound. 'ㅅ' looks like the teeth and produces a sound known as "Dental". 'ㅇ' represents the shape of
