The Korean-language translation of my 2019 book Sinography has just been published! This is not an easy book to translate; I'm grateful to the team of scholars, led by Prof. Lee Yong (이용 교수님) who worked on it.

The Korean title is: 동아시아의 한자 −중국 문자의 차용과 변용−

@zevhandel.bsky.social just got your book!

I'm shamelessly promoting my book, Chinese Characters Across Asia, because the publisher's big sale ends soon, on January 3.

Pre-order by Jan 3 to get 40% off (and free shipping in the US): US$21 instead of the cover prices of US$35.

Links to US, Canada, and world-wide distributors in 🧵 below.

Three stacked ice cubes, with the characters 我, 你, 他 superimposed on them so it looks like they are frozen in ice.

Did you know? All three basic Mandarin pronouns have irregular historical developments.

More interesting: All three give the appearance of being frozen in time — preserving ancient pronunciations.

Let’s check it out!

(Reposting a 🧵 from Twitter here to get some content onto my Bluesky account.)

Cover of forthcoming book Chinese Characters Across Asia: How the Chinese Script Came to Write Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese (by Zev Handel, University of Washington Press, 2025)

If I can finish proofreading and make the index in time, my new book will come out in January. 📖

I've been working on it for five years so I'm pretty excited that it will soon be a reality. I'd like to tell you a bit about it.

Officially launching in the U.S. today! To hear what this book, and the Endangered Alphabets Project in general, are all about, check out this interview I did with Tucker Johnson of @Nimdzi_Insights . The book itself is on sale at www.amazon.com/Atlas-Endang.... Please share!

제 첫 논문인 "조선관역어의 ‘噴 [靑]’과 ‘則卜論 [寅]’에 대하여"가 구결연구 51집에 게재되었습니다.

이 글에서는 "프르- [青]"의 형성을 조선관역어에 보이는 "噴"을 이용해 설명하고자 했고, 선행 연구에서 해독된 "則卜論(저오롬)"의 어근을 특정하고자 했습니다.
