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, and is used when signing Korean as well as being integrated into KSL.
Consonants[edit]
The only letter with motion as a component is ssang siot (ㅆ), which starts as two crossed fingers pointing down and then snaps open.
Vowels[edit]
Note that the difference in orientation between eo, yeo and the diphthongs based on them, e, ye is not significant.
