Revised Romanization

Revised Romanization is a romanization of Korean, i.e. a way of writing Korean using the Roman alphabet. It was proclaimed in South Korea in July 2000 and adopted by all major English-language South Korean newspapers by 2006. It aims to be less confusing than McCune-Reischauer and more suitable for internet domain names.
