 Hangul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although several of the basic concepts of hangul came from Indic phonology through the Phagspa script, such as the relationships among the homorganic jamo and, of course, the alphabetic principle itself, Chinese phonology also played a major role.
Phagspa had a seal script variant modeled after the appearance of the Chinese seal script of its day.
Not only is the series ᇢᇦᇴ analogous to Phagspa, but here we may have a second example of a letter composed of two elements to represent two regional pronunciations, m and w, as we saw with ᇰ for ng and null.

Phagspa had a seal script variant based on the apearance of the Chinese seal script of its day.
Although several of the basic concepts of hangul came from the Phagspa script with its origin in Indic phonology, such as the relationships of jamo and, of course, the alphabetic principle itself, Chinese phonology also played a major role.
The Chinese initial and#24494; represented either m or w in various dialects, and this may be reflected in the choice of and#12609; m plus and#12615; (from Phagspa w) as the elements of hangul and#4578;.

The face of the seal is carved in three rows of Phagspa seal script with the name of an official title, indicating it belonged to a commanding officer of the Yuan imperial armies.
This square seal in Phagspa script has a trapezoidal knob.
The top is carved in Chinese with the corresponding official title in regular script as well as the bureau that manufactured it (Ministry of Rites) and the date, which corresponds to 1287 and thus puts it during the reign of the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan in the Yuan dynasty of China.

This they accomplished by basing the new script upon Mongol, which had been invented in 1269, by Baschpa, or 'Phagspa, a Tibetan lama, acting under the direction of Kublai Khan.
The necessity for something more convenient soon appealed to the prescient and active mind of Nurhachu; accordingly, in 1599, he gave orders to two learned scholars to prepare a suitable script for his rapidly increasing subjects.
Baschpa had based his script upon the written language of the Ouigours, who were descendants of the Hsiung-nu, or Huns.

 Don Croner's World Wide Wanders: February 2005
Therefore I expressly commanded the National Preceptor Phagspa to create the New Mongolian Script, which could be used to transcribe all other scripts, in the hope that words may easily be used to express events.
Phagspa said this was not possible because Khubilai was a king and a king would not be able to observe the vows necessary to take the initiation.
Phagspa was also a remarkable scholar who developed an elaborate Buddhist religio-political theory of world rule based on the idea of chakravartin kings, a line of benevolent Buddhist rulers whose latest representative was none other than Khubilai himself.

Phagspa (1235-1280) was a Tibetan who played a very important role in the history of Mongolia.
When Khubilai Khan asked for artists and craftsmen, it was Phagspa who recommended Anige, the phenomenal Newari artist who came to Dadu in 1260 with twenty-four artisans and contributed greatly to the art of the Yuan dynasty.
In 1244, as a young prince of Sakya, Phagspa, together with his brother Chanadorje, accompanied their uncle Sakya Pandita (1182-1251) as hostages to meet Godan Khan, second son of ÷g^dei.

They were written in a number of ancient languages, including the Phagspa (Mongolian language written in a script combining Tibetan and Sanskrit), Sanskrit, Tibetan and Xixia, among others.
Large quantities of precious Buddhist, historical, political and economical documents, some of which can be dated back to as early as the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), have been the primary finds in the seemingly obscure caves.

On the other hand, the Phagspa script of the Mongol Empire was based closely on the Tibetan abugida, but all vowel marks were written after the preceding consonant rather than as diacritic marks.
century is based on half a dozen letters apparently derived from Tibetan via the imperial Phagspa alphabet of the Yuan dynasty in China.
