Korean manual alphabet

Consonants

The only letter with motion as a component is ssang siot (ㅆ), which starts as what in the American Sign Language alphabet is a downward pointing 'R' handshape, and then snaps open.

ㄱ g	ㄴ n	ㄷ d	ㄹ r, l	ㅁ m
ㅂ b	ㅅ s	ㅆ ss	ㅇ ng	ㅈ j
ㅊ ch	ㅋ k	ㅌ t	ㅍ p	ㅎ h

Vowels

ㅏ a	ㅐ ae	ㅑ ya	ㅒ yae
ㅓ eo	ㅔ e	ㅕ yeo	ㅖ ye
ㅗ o	ㅚ oe	ㅛ yo
ㅜ u	ㅟ wi	ㅠ yu
ㅡ eu	ㅢ ui	ㅣ i

Note that the slight difference in orientation between eo, yeo and the diphthongs based on them, e, ye is not significant. KSL has no such difference.
