Etymology[edit]

From Middle Chinese 倉 (MC t͡sʰɑŋ). Recorded as Middle Korean 차ᇰ (chang) (Yale: chang) in Hunmong Jahoe (訓蒙字會 / 훈몽자회), 1527.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • (granary; warehouse; etc.):
  • (in 창졸 (倉卒, changjol)):
    • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [t͡ɕʰa̠(ː)ŋ]
    • Phonetic hangul: [창(ː)]
      • Though still prescriptive in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
