The ninth of October is "Hangeul" Proclamation Day in korea.

Hangeul Proclamation Day

Before *Hangeul was invented, our nation used our own language and borrowed Chinese letters to write. But, chinese characters were difficult to use and could not express all of our words. So, *King Sejong was made Hangeul.
The accurate record does not exist because since King Sejong performed the project of inventing Hangeul secretly, there is no evident record related to the invention of Han-geul even in the authentic history. Unmon 28 letters(recent 24 letters) were invented in December of 1443(Sejong 25th year) and *Hunminjeongeum was completed in September of 1446(Sejong 28th).

The greatest invention of the world because Hangeul is a very scientific letters as a phonemic letters, the most advanced writing system. And, King Sejong invented Hangeul to contribute to a better life for the sake of ordinary peolpe. It was the background of Hangeul invention. Any language didn't have intention of creating.

I am always proud of my language.
