Summary/Abstract: The article presents a complete description of the 18th century Korean writing system, which is noticeably different from today’s Korean. The description includes both “reading rules” and “writing rules”, providing free transition between a word written in Korean alphabet and its phonological transcription. Some peculiarities of the 18th century Korean writing system are presented in this paper for the first time (e. g. orthographic rules of syllabic clustering and spelling of aspirated consonants).
