Abstract
The paper compares the sound of Hangul (Korean) and Tamil to assess possible similarity. Outline study undertaken is primarily based on the sounds of vowels and consonants of both the languages. For comparison, a simple weighted framework is proposed to show on a conservative estimate what level of similarities can be asserted between both the languages.
