Pyongwriter [평우랱텔] User Manual

Introduction

We designed Pyongwriter as a writer tool for korean learner or korean practitioner with basic/origin of English and other Latin alphabethic countries - who accustomes to use QWERTY Latin keyboard.

So, sounds/jamos of Korean are arranged mostly in correspondence with QWERTY keyboard.

Non-Shift   QWERT YUIOP = 와ᅦᄅᄐ  ᅣᅮᅵᅩᄑ 
Shifted     QWERT YUIOP = 0ᅰᅥ00   ᅨᅯᅴᅩᆹ 
Non-Shift   ASDFG HJKL; = ᅡᄉᄃᄄᄀ  ᄒᄌᄏᄅ; 
Shifted     ASDFG HJKL; = 0ᅢ00ᄁ   0000:
Non-Shift   ZXCVB NM<>? = ᄊᄍᄎᄈᄇ  ᄂᄆ,./  
Non-Shift   ZXCVB NM<>? = 00000   ᆼ0<>? 

All these we are into Pyongwriter keyboard buttons on the screen. For a new beginner in Korean, these buttons-keyboard will help them to familiarize with Korean jamos to build han/chosen-geul.
After they are familiar enough with jamos to build han/chosen-geul then they will not need anymore to stare at the buttons-keyboard to type han/chosen-geul. The user in this stage has a sound basic hangeul recognition
and they type han/chosen-geul faster by reading and typing 'on the fly'. 

But remembering necessity for a new beginner in Korean to learn Han/Chosen-geul formation from jamos, our buttons-keyboard consist all initial jamos, medial jamos, and final jamos.

A han/chosen-geul is build using jamos with following patterns:

han/chosen-geul = initial jamos + medial jamos;
or
han/chosen-geul = initial jamos + medial jamos + final jamos;

These are initial jamos (consonants) : ᄀᄁᄂᄃᄄᄅᄆᄇᄈᄉᄊᄋᄌᄍᄎᄏᄐᄑᄒ

These are medial jamos (vowels) : ᅡᅢᅣᅤᅥᅦᅧᅨᅩᅪᅫᅬᅭᅮᅯᅰᅱᅲᅳᅴᅵ

These are final jamos (consonants - final) : ᆨᆩᆪᆫᆬᆭᆮᆯᆰᆱᆲᆳᆴᆵᆶᆷᆸᆹᆺᆻᆼᆽᆾᆿᇀᇁᇂ

So han/chosengeul 평 is build using initial-ᄑ + ᅧ + final-ᆼ

Next in this document we only use term Geul instead of han/chosengeul to simplify typing.
But remember hangeul and chosengeul is the same term to call writing system of korean.
Hangeul is used by Korean (South, ROKA) and chosengeul is used by Korean (North, DPRK).
In this document we simply use the term 'Geul'.


Description of Buttons

MODE: Button [LATIN] and [평] = is used to switch between LATIN and Geul
Button [Jamo] = will display jamos as you type
Button [Star] = click mouse-left-button-click will finalize Geul from Jamos
Button [CLR Jamo] = will clear up all jamos, so you restart a new Geul from initial-jamo again
Button [+f.jamo]  = to add final jamo or 2nd-final jamo to currently built Geul.
for example = 란 then ᄂ then you hit button [+f.jamo] so then you get Geul 랑.
also 란 then ᄀ then you hit button [+f.jamo] so then you get Geul 랑.
Button [LatinZ] will translate all Geul text in Memo into corresponding latin-writing of Geul.
we design this function to output one Geul by one latinized-Geul side by side for easy reading
for new beginner.
Button [Klip!] will clip Geul text in Memo to clipboard, you can then paste it into your website or 
wordprocessor (openoffice writer, ms office word, wordpad, notepad etc).
Button [CLEAR] will clear Memo.
Button [PRINT] will print text to currently selected printer
Button [SingJamo]/[Geul] will switch input between single jamo input and geul input.
Button [About] will display information about Pyongwriter software, registration info, and contact us info.
Button [HCHGeul] will display all array of Geul in Memo.
Button below FONT allow you to choose font to use in Pyongwriter.

CONSIDERATION IN ARRANGING SEVERAL UNIQUE BUTTON-KEYBOARD
w&u based jamo:
W = wa
shift-W = we[e]
wi[i] is put on top-left of buttons-keyboard
wae is put on top-left
U = u
shift-u = weo

y based jamo, include i :
Y = ya
shift-Y=ye
Shift-I=yi[i]
yu,yo,yo,yae is put on top-right of buttons-keyboard

unique eu jamo:
eu is put into top-center of buttons-keyboard

MODE [평] SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT 
As you type in MODE [평] (=MODE [Pyong]), Pyongwriter make it easy for you to build a Geul.
If you type a vowel at first of Geul making, then Pyongwriter will insert 'ᆼ' automatically before the vowel.
If you type in the 2nd stroke a consonants Pyongwriter will automatically convert initial jamo into double consonants 
if 1nd and 2nd stroke consonants are part of a double-consonants jamo. So ᄇ + ᄇ = ᄈ

Vowel a [ᅡ] + e [ᅥ]  becomes ae [ᅢ] automatically

Diftong ya will automatically change to ye,yae,yi,yo,yu,yeo
ye  ᅨ = Y + E + E
yae ᅤ = Y (which give ya) + E
yi[i] ᅴ = Y + I + I
yo  ᅭ = Y + O
yu  ᅲ = Y + U
yeo ᅧ= Y + E + O 

Example:
To form the Geul "myeon (=면)", you type
M(ᄆ)+  Y+E+O (ᅣ>ᅨ>ᅧ) + N(ᄂ). Here typing Y you-get Ya(ᅣ) then add typing +E make this change to Ye(ᅨ) then add typing +O make this change to Yeo(ᅧ).

Diftong eu + i will auto change to yi[i] = E + U + I

Diftong wa will auto change to we,wae,wii,weo - 웨왜위워 : 
we  웨 = W + E
wae 왜 = W + A + E
wii 위 = W + I + I
weo 워 = W + E + O

Vowel o + e/i will make 외 oe/oi.

Example:
사*야*사야     수*가*수가  ᄌ자*자ᄋ 짜짱      며ᄂ 몐.  (*=SPACE)
SA*[Q]Y*>saya SU*KA*>suka JJA*JAQ>Jja Jang  M Yeo N > Myeon
