The English Spelling for '한글'

 
    
The Expression for 한글: Hangle
   Oneday, I happened to make a search with the word 'Hangle' in Google search box. On parsing the word 'Hangle', there was a recommended word, 'hangul' for 'Hangle'. And there were a lot of sites using 'Hangul' for the Korean language.
  In fact, the Korean language, Hangle has relation with the English word 'hangle'. That is, English word 'hangle' has two types of meanings. The one is it has the meaning of <rack/peg:hanger> which is the combination with 'han' from 'hang' and 'gle' from 'dangle'. The other, <grip/knob/strap:handle>, 'han' from 'hang' and 'gle' from 'angle'. (There could be some other meanings.) -> 'Hangle' & 'hangle'
 In an aspect of Korean language, out of 'Hangle', 'han' has the meaning of one or big, (specially Hangle suggests) a square box, resulting into a harmonious completion with boxes in a box and 'gle' has the meaning of the writing system. Comparatively, out of 'Hangul', 'gul' has the meaning of a cave or an oyster; 'Hangul' is not proper one for the Korean language, 'Hangle' or 'Hangeul'.
 At this point, I have one thing to tell you; In Hangle, the basic vowels are divided into
horizontal 'ㅡ'and vertical 'l'phonemes. The horizontal vowel 'ㅡ' has the meaning of 'land' which is flat and the pronuciation is the same as the mouth shape of 'ㅡ'. Relatively, in English part, the pronunciation for the 'ㅡ' is ignored. That is, in case of the letter '글', it is composed of three parts: top consonant 'ㄱ', mid vowel 'ㅡ' and bottom consonant 'ㄹ'. First, 'ㄱ' has the pronunciaton of 'g'. next, 'ㅡ' phoneme has the flat shape of mouth, which is normally ignored such like 's' & 'k' out of 'desk[데스크]'. Lastly, 'ㄹ' at the bottom has the pronunciation of 'l'. Thus, the pronunciation of '글' is like 'gl', missing the mid pronunciation part, 'ㅡ' in Hangle. And when the last part of the intonation in '글' gets lowered, 'gle' will be acceptable.
 In fact, the 'ㅡ' phoneme in Hangle is a very crucial one. As of the primary phoneme 'ㅡ' in Hangle, it is normally expressed just like 'eu' in English. And in case of '글', into 'geul when it is used solely. But when that letter is combined with other letters such like 한글', the expression 'Hangeul' is somewhat uneasy or so. As of it, many people use 'Hangul', which is convenient for pronouncing.
  Dear Hanglers, I fully understand how convenient it would be just using 'Hangul' instead of 'Hangeul'. But when it comes to the basic vowels, the 'ㅡ' phoneme is a very, very important one in Hangle. A half of all the letters in Hangle has relation with the phoneme, 'ㅡ'.
 Thus, I sincerely recommend that you should use 'Hangle' instead of 'Hangul'.
