FYI: The Korean written language (Han-gul) has approximately 40 letters
(I think it's 42). Yes, that's true, letters representing sounds. They
are grouped in a way that makes western people think that there are
thousands of characters, as in Chinese. However, to complicate things,
they use Chinese characters for words borrowed from Chinese.
