[KS] Revised Romanization Detailed Guidelines?

[Tanter, Dr. Marcy]

?As someone who has not studied this at all, I'm wondering who decided and agreed on romanization? For example, why is "Pak" translated as "Park"? why is "Oo" "Woo"? I'm learning Hangeul very slowly and on my own, so sometimes I get confused.

Dear Hyoungbae,

Thank you very much for that link. Unfortunately the PDF is essentially the same as the National Institute of Korean Language website and does not adequately address things like word division, particles/prefixes/affixes, etc.

For example, my students are most confused about how to deal with particles (if they should be attached or not). In actual practice (newspapers, publications, etc.), it seems that particles after nouns are inconsistently attached, or some of them will be attached (i/ga, eun/neun, e) but others like possessive ui will be separated.

I've been using McR rules for anything RR does not explicitly mention, but if anybody knows of anything better, please let me know.

I also reached out to the Library of Congress as Brother Anthony suggested (thank you!), and I'll report back if they say anything.

Best wishes,
Dennis

Dear Dennis,

The National Institute of the Korean Language published a manual in English in 2000.
The scanned images of the manual is available in PDF format on the website of the Institute:

Dear Colleagues,

Does anyone know if there are any detailed guides for Revised Romanization beyond the one-page National Institute of Korean Language website and Wikipedia, similar to the ALA-LC guide we have for McCune-Reischauer?

I'm sure someone must've asked this already, but I couldn't find anything in the KS archives or online.

Thank you,
Dennis Lee
