Hairwizard: why is my edit wrong? It is true that Korean retained labial codas in syllables with labial onsets. -- ran ( talk) 20:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm using the Revised Romanization of Korean. Is there some reason why I should not use it? -- ran ( talk) 20:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Here's how the labial codas work: in Classical Chinese, the 凡 rime, consisting of characters like 泛 凡 帆 範 犯 梵 法 乏, were pronounced with labial onsets and labial codas. These were lost in Chinese: even in the most conservative varieties like Cantonese and Minnan, the labial codas were changed to dental codas. But in Korean, the labial codas were kept. -- ran ( talk) 20:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you have any more questions about my edits? -- ran ( talk) 20:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
It might seem weird to reply to a discussion 11 years ago but I still want to point out that labial codas in characters with labial onsets were kept in languages like Hakka and Teochow nowadays -- they were not completely lost in Chinese...-- 我輩は犬である ( talk) 04:37, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
I heard that in North Korea Hanja were almost completely wiped out, and nearly all korean texts were written entirely in Hangul. The article should make a mention of that --Anon
