미소녀

Korean

Sino-Korean word from 美少女, from 美 (“beautiful”) + 少女 (“girl”), probably an orthographic borrowing from Japanese 美少女.

(SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [ˈmi(ː)sʰo̞ɲʌ̹]
Phonetic hangul: [미(ː)소녀]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
