Korean manual alphabet
Appearance
The Korean manual alphabet is used by the Deaf in South Korea who speak Korean Sign Language. It is a one-handed alphabet that mimics the shapes of the letters in hangul.
Consonants
The only KSL letter with motion as a component is ssaeng siot ㅆ, which starts as a downpointing ALS R hand shape and snaps open.
Vowels
Note that the vowels eo, yeo and the diphthongs based on them, e, ye, have slightly different orientations. It is not known if this is correct, perhaps to aid in distinguishing eo and yeo, or an error in the source materials for this article.
