Executive Summary<\/h2>\n

World Certification Industry Association (WIA)<\/strong> has expanded WIHP (WIA International Hangul Phonology)<\/strong> to support 90 languages as free and open source under MIT License<\/strong>. This historic achievement enables 98% of the world’s population \u2014 approximately 7.6 billion people \u2014 to read their languages in Korean Hangul script. For foreign language learners<\/strong>, this provides a revolutionary tool to verify correct pronunciation of any language using Hangul. This announcement positions the Republic of Korea as a leader in setting international standards for linguistic accessibility.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea8 The Problem: Why This Standard Matters<\/h2>\n
\n

The world faces a crisis of language barriers and phonetic inaccessibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 World languages: 7,000+<\/strong>
\u2022 IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) literacy: Less than 1%<\/strong> (experts only)
\u2022 Japanese Katakana accuracy: Below 60%<\/strong> (“beautiful” \u2192 \u30d3\u30e5\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30d5\u30eb?)
\u2022 Existing phonetic systems: Incomplete mapping<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few people can read Tibetan, Georgian, Uyghur, or Lingala. IPA is a tool for experts, Romanization is inaccurate, and national systems lack consistency. 7.6 billion people had no way to read each other’s languages.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. Yeon Sam-Heum, CEO:<\/strong>
“I realized this when my Japanese friend visited Korea and couldn’t read ‘\uac10\uc0ac\ud569\ub2c8\ub2e4’ (thank you). Katakana can’t even properly write ‘kamsahamnida.’ But Hangul can. Because Hangul is a scientifically designed phonetic script<\/strong>. 7.6 billion people have the right to read each other’s languages.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\ud83d\udca1 WIA’s Solution: WIHP<\/h2>\n

WIHP (WIA International Hangul Phonology) is the world’s first standard to achieve complete mapping of all 117 IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols into Hangul. 69 consonants, 28 vowels, and 20 diacritics<\/strong> \u2014 including click consonants (Zulu\/Xhosa), ejectives (Georgian\/Amharic), and nasalization (French\/Portuguese). It enables reading any word from 90 languages in Hangul, leveraging the Wikimedia Foundation’s Wiktionary API to support millions of words for free.<\/p>\n

Why Hangul?<\/strong> Created by King Sejong the Great in 1443, Hangul is the world’s most scientifically designed writing system. Consonant shapes are based on articulatory organs, it’s easy to learn (mastered in hours), and combinable (onset + nucleus + coda) to express infinite syllables. While IPA is for experts, Hangul can be read by anyone.<\/p>\n
