Korean romanization
These pages have Korean but no romanizations. So if you are good at romanization, can you add them?

Some questions about romanizations
1. When a syllable ending with ㄹ is followed by one starting with ㄹ, some editors have the two l's combined into a single l, like the following ones. Is this correct? (In addition to the table above, 올림픽 is often romanized as Olimpik.)

2. In some pages, ㅈ is romanized as z. Is that correct?

3. According to RR, ㅡ should be romanized as eu, but in some pages it is either omitted or romanized as u. Is that correct?

4. In some pages, ㅜ is romanized as oo. Is that correct?

5. Can ㅍ be romanized as f?

6. Some of the initial letters have a one letter romanization in RR, but some editors append "h" to that letter, like ㅅ = sh. Is this right?

7. Here are some more romanizations that I am not able to verify, as I don't know hangul well. Can you verify them?

It's because I added some romajis to these Korean words. Here are the reasons that I'm thinking:

1. The letter "l" already has "l" sound so I think that it DOES NOT have to be added twice. (e.g. 멜론 = Melon (O), Mellon (X))

2. Not so sure why (I added them though) but I deem that z sound more fits than j sound in certain ways. (Most Korean people, incluring me, pronounce z sound as j sound though)

3. I sometimes forget to add "eu" sound when I add "ㅡ" sound. For words that does not have syllables I sometimes omit "eu" because the letter and the word alone can produce that sound anyway. But for some romajis, someone other than me did it.

4. I agree that it should be "u" sound. Someone other than me did most of it.

5. While it is probably incorrect, I added "f" sound as ㅍ sound for some words because we are now able to pronounce it.

6. For "S" sounds, I thought "Sh" sounds are closer to what we pronounce "s" sounds, and some romanizations have "sh" instead of "s" itself.

7. Some are correct and some are not. Maybe I should correct them some time..

In conclusion, it depends on how editors consider about romajis in their ways so you probably don't have to worry about that much. I think that it will sound in a same way too. CSR 12:12, 6 August 2015 (EDT)
