@Karaeng Matoaya I feel justified (・∀・;)

What source is used for the hanja readings? (I'm not very familiar with the research/standards.) —Suzukaze-c (talk) 08:05, 6 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Suzukaze-c That's funny XD
The hanja readings of Choe Sejin's 1527 work represent the standard for all post-1527 Sino-Korean readings, up to today. Since 1527, Sino-Korean readings have only been affected by regular sound shifts that influenced all of Korean, so you just need to apply the relevant sound changes to Choe's readings (the native Korean vocabulary in the rest of the text, or if not the general dating of the source, should make clear what changes should be applied and what should not; in the case of this text the most relevant change was eighteenth-century palatalization of ty > cy). This works almost perfectly all the way up to the modern Sino-Korean readings. There are very occasionally issues with applying this method (certain characters with irregular sound changes like ) in which case a contemporaneous schoolbook like the 千字文 can be consulted for the readings.--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 08:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
