1926년, 한글 반포 480주년을 맞아 한글날 기념식 ‘가갸날’이 열렸다. 민족주의 국어학자들의 단체인 조선어연구회가 주최한 기념식에서 처음으로 가갸날을 선포했으며, 가갸날은 오늘날의 한글날이 되었다. 한글은 ‘가갸거겨, 나냐너녀’ 하는 식으로 배울 때라 언문, 가갸글 등으로 불려왔다. 그러다 1910년대 조선어 연구회에서 ‘으뜸가는 글, 하나밖에 없는 글’이라는 뜻으로 지어서 쓰게 되었다. 가갸날은 1928년부터 ‘한글날’로 이름을 바꾸었다.

The “Gagya Day” Celebration for Hangeul Day

[Illustrated History of Hangeul 27]

Professor Kim Sle-ong

 

 

In 1926, marking the 480th anniversary of the invention of Hangeul, the first official celebration of Hangeul Day, called “Gagya Day,” was held. The celebration was organized by the Korean Language Research Society, a group of nationalist linguists, and it was at this event that the name “Gagya Day” was first introduced. “Gagya” referred to the first sounds in the Korean alphabet (가, 갸, 거, 겨, etc.), and the term “Gagya” was commonly used as away to teach children Hangeul, which was often referred to as “eummun” (vernacular) or “Gagya-gul” (Gagya script).

 

By the 1910s, the Chosun Language Research Society had coined the term “Hangeul” (meaning “the best script” or “the unique script”), and this term became widely accepted. In 1928, the event was renamed “Hangeul Day” (한글날), a name that continues to be used today

ハングルの日記念式「カギャの日」が開催される

[絵で見るハングルの歴史 27]

金瑟擁（キム・スロン）教授

 

 

1926年、ハングル頒布480周年を迎え、ハングルの日の記念式である「カギャの日（ガギャナル）」が開催された。民族主義国語学者たちの団体である朝鮮語研究会が主催した記念式で初めて「カギャの日」が宣布され、カギャの日が今日の「ハングルの日（ハングルナル）」となった。ハングルは「カギャコギョ、ナニャノニョ」という風に学ぶ時期であったため、諺文（オンムン）やカギャ文字（カギャグル）などと呼ばれてきた。

 

によって「最高の文字、唯一無二の文字」という意味で（「ハングル」という名が）作られ、使われるようになった。カギャの日は1928年から「ハングルの日」へと名前を変えた。
