Korean

Etymology 1

    Sino-Korean word from 罪 (“fault”), from the Middle Korean reading 죄〯 (Yale: cwǒy).

    Pronunciation

    • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [t͡ɕwe̞(ː)] ~ [t͡ɕø̞(ː)]
    • Phonetic hangul: [줴(ː)/죄(ː)]
      • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
