ㅇ + ㄹ

Pronunciation 'Rule:

• Case 1: 'ㅇ' 받침 + 'ㄹ' → ㄹ gets pronounced as ㄴ

If the 받침 is a ㅇ and it is followed by ㄹ, then the ㄹ sound becomes a ㄴ sound. The ㅇ is a nasal sound so the ㄹ changes to a nasal sound to compensate.

Other Examples

• 종로 (An area in Seoul, literally means bell street) → "종노"
• 종료 (A colleague, a coworker) → "종뇨"
