==Phonology==
==Phonology==
Gwapyeo's phonology is quite similar to that of Modern Korean, with some subtle differences. The main notable difference is the absence of tense consonants, yielding only a two-way distinction for plosives, between aspirated and plain plosives. The biggest divergence from modern Korean vowel-wise is the presence of the phoneme /ɒ/, also found in the [[w:Jeju_language|Jeju language]], though it is written with "ㅐ", a character which, in [[w:Koreanic_languages|Koreanic languages]] where it has not merged with another vowel, represents sounds close to /æ/.
