Explanation 4 · Final Consonants

Speed of sounds

    The final sound ㄷ ㄴ ㅂ ㅁ ㅅ ㄹ (읻 인 입 임 잇 일) ( iD iN
    iB iM iT iL) respectively become the endings ㄷ (iD) in 볃
    ByeoT, ㄴ (iN) in 군 GuN, ㅂ (iB) in     , ㅁ (iM) in 땀
    TTam, ㅅ (iT) in 옷 OT and ㄹ in 실 SiL.
    These final sounds form pairs of slowness and quickness.
    For example, the molar sound ㆁ (iNG)[ŋ] pairs with ㄱ
    (iK). When ㆁ is pronounced quickly, it transforms into ㄱ ,
    making the sound faster. Conversely, when ㄱ(iK) is
    pronounced slowly, it changes back into ㆁ(I[ŋ]), making
    the sound slower.
    The tongue sounds ㄴ ㄷ (iN iD), lip sounds ㅁ ㅂ (iM iB),
    teeth sounds ㅿ ㅅ(iZ iT), and throat sounds ㅇ ㆆ (i◌ i[ʔ])
    also form pairs of slowness and quickness in the same way.
