The following are problematic romanizations selected from the individual Wiktionary entry pages within Category:Sino-Korean words. Note that Category:Native Korean words, especially in context, are more problematic in romanizing.
Of the Revised Romanization duality, the secular orthoepic transcription of spoken Korean into Roman favors Sino-Korean names of simplicity, while the academic orthographic transliteration of written Korean into Roman favors native Korean passages of complexity.
