Korean mixed script is a form of writing the Korean language that uses a mixture of the Korean alphabet or hangul and hanja,the Korean name for Chinese characters. The distribution on how to write words usually follows that all native Korean words,including suffixes,particles,and honorific markers are generally written in hangul and never in hanja. Sino-Korean vocabulary or hanja-eo,either words borrowed from Chinese or created from Sino-Korean roots,were generally always written in hanja, although very rare or complex characters were often substituted with hangul.
