The New Korean Orthography was a spelling reform used in North Korea from 1948 to 1954. It added five consonants and one vowel letter to the Hangul alphabet, supposedly making it a more morphophonologically "clear" approach to the Korean language. Its use has since been discontinued and the standard writing system is the same version of Hangul as used in South Korea, though it remains historically significant as a piece of culture once separating the North from the South.
