The Anthology uses the new Romanization system proclaimed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for terms in Korean. Outline of the Romanization system is as follows.
The Romanization of Korean
1. Basic Principles of Romanization
1) Romanization is based on standard Korean pronunciation.
2) Symbols other than Roman letters are avoided to the greatest extent possible.
2. Summary of the Romanization System
1) Vowels are transcribed as follows:
ㆍsimple vowels
ㆍdiphthongs
Note : 'ㅢ'is transcribed as 'ui' even when pronounced as 'I' Long vowels are not reflected in Romanization.
2) Consonants are transcribed as follows :
ㆍplosives(stops)
ㆍaffricates
ㆍfricatives
ㆍnasals
ㆍliquids
Note 1 : The sounds 'ㄱ', 'ㄷ', and 'ㅂ' are transcribed respectively as 'g', 'd' and 'b' when they appear before
a vowel; they are transcribed as 'k', 't' and 'p' when followed by another consonant or form the
final sound of a word. (They are Romanized as pronunciation in [ ].)
e.g.) 구미 Gumi 영동 Yeongdong 백암 Baegam 옥천 Okcheon 합덕 Hapdeok 호법 Hobeop
월곶[월곧] Wolgot 벗꽃[벋꼳] beotkkot 한밭[한받] Hanbat
Note 2 : 'ㄹ' is transcribed as 'r' when followed by a vowel, and as l when followed by a consonant or
when appearing at the end of a word. 'ㄹㄹ' is transcribed as 'll'.
e.g.) 구리 Guri 설악 Seorak 칠곡 Chilgok 임실 Imsil 울릉 Ulleung 대관령[대괄령] Daegwallyeong
However, the Anthology exceptionally follow the principle below when romanizing Korean family name starting
with 'ㄱ' and family name '이'.
1) For family names starting with 'ㄱ' (eg., '강', '권', and '김'), 'K' will be used instead of 'G'.
2) When romanizing the family name '이', 'Yi' will be used instead of 'I'.
The Anthology follows the pinyin system as found in the Xiandai banyu cidian published by the Institute of
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Bejing Shangwuyin Shuguan, 1978) for terms in Chinese and the
romanization system used in the New Japanese-English Character Dictionary (Kenkyusha, 1990) for terms
in Japanese.
