Talk:Korean manual alphabet

Latest comment: 9 years ago by SongofSol in topic good job!

Have all the images, but they need to be rotated 90 degrees. Anyone know a program I can use to simply rotate an image? (Illustrator and Photoshop won't work, it seems, and MS Photo Editor has never worked on my machine.) kwami 08:35, 25 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Nevermind. Found a useful little freeware program called jpegcrop that does lossless rotation, cropping, and other simple editing tasks. kwami 20:00, 26 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, folks. I photocopied this info off a hand-drawn chart on p 49 of a book I checked out of a library in Japan. I have no idea what the title of the book was. It had charts of lots of manual alphabets, and seems to have been completely in English. kwami 20:27, 26 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

good job! edit

You did well with this, when I get back from vacation I need to finish up the Japanese yubimoji page pictures I started. I got a copyright free (I belive) rag while in Korea. It seems to show you made a mistake on the "R" character. Cheers! (I'm not sure if this is on your watch page, so I'll tag your page with this comment too.)

It looks the same to me. You'll notice that the only diff between R and T is that in T fingers 3 & 4 are adducted, whereas in R all three are separated. Your diagram shows R and T as being slightly more similar than my source does, but of course for pedagogical purposes we want to keep them as distinct as possible. kwami 23:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
(Granted, I held my hands quite stiffly when I took the photos, so they may have a rather strong accent!) kwami
I genuinely appreciate all those photos. But I'd like to point out some mistaken parts.
  • 'ㅡ'(eu) is index finger-out shape rather than pinkie-out.
  • As correctly described in the article, ''(e) and ''(ye) reflect the relationships with ''(eo) and ''(yeo), respectively, adding 'ㅣ'(i) to each vowel. Those links are from sign language dictionary published by the National Institute of the Korean Language. --SongofSol (talk) 15:21, 21 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
