A Study of the Spelling Methods of Mantras in Modern Korean

&nbsp;&nbsp;This paper investigates the transcription system of mantra pronunciation characterized of Buddhist transcription language in modern Korean period, It is also concerned with discussing the changes in mantra transcription focusing on the literatures of the 17th~19th centuries which had mostly been excluded from studies.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In the Modern Korean literatures dealt in the present study, mostly published for reciting purpose by minor temples, there are many spellings with strong individual dialects. In all of them the Siddham？t？k？ transcription is hardly found, with some presence of Chinese transcription, but with mostly Korean transcription. Also, as these mantras were used for ceremonial reciting purpose at temples, various phonemic phenomena are naturally observed such as palatalization, nasal sound assimilation, consonant assimilation, and wrong separate liaison spellings, which are observed in pure Korean.
