Etymology 3Edit

Modern Korean reading of various Chinese characters.

In the majority of Modern Korean dialects (except that of Pyongan), these are traditionally pronounced as 니 (ni) only as the non-initial character of a compound, and as 이 (i) in isolation or as the first element of a compound. After a North Korean spelling reform in the mid-twentieth century, North Koreans always pronounce it as 니 (ni) in all environments.
