Usage notes The initial "R" is replaced with "N" (or with nothing or other consonants in other examples) in the South Korean standard, which is also reflected in the spelling, the jamo ㄹ is replaced with ㄴ. The Revised Romanization of Korean modern standard South Korean romanisation does not use ŏ to romanize the vowel [ʌ̹] (jamo: ㅓ) as is still done in North Korea, a digraph eo is used instead.
