Traditional vowel classification:
Traditionally, vowels are classified into three categories, that is yang (bright), yin (dark),
and neutral. This classification is very important, for it will be used when we learn conjugation of predicates and some phonological aspects of Korean. The classification also principles the vowel harmony phenomena that Korean has as a member of Altaic language family. The classification is as follows:
yang (bright) -- ㅏ and ㅗ series (ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅘ)
yin (dark) -- ㅓ and ㅜ series (ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅜ, ㅠ, ㅝ)
neutral -- ㅡ and ㅣ
