How is hangul described in Korea? An alphabet? syllabary? both? something else?

It's an alphabet, some people have different opinions though.

Oh, I don't know. I would think it's alphabetic syllabary. You should know, you are a Korean not me

Oh, I don't know. I would think it's alphabetic syllabary.

Thank you!

According to wikipedia:

As it combines the features of alphabetic and syllabic writing systems, it has been described as an "alphabetic syllabary" by some linguists.

I just wanted to know what Koreans themselves think about it, which may mean what they are taught in school.

Would you say that this is the knowledge/opinion of most Koreans? Is this what's taught in school?

Hangul is refered to as the korean alphebet. It is a mixture of an alphabet and symbollic sounds/syllibals/words/etc.

If you have any questions let me know.

I was born in Ulsan. We were taught in school that its an alphabet. @baekk grew up in Seoul, she was taught differently than I was. Its in a matter of where you grew up
