"the Latin alphabet"
is this an actual distinction, or just nitpicking on people's perception? —Fish bowl (talk) 06:46, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * would people use 영어 to describe the ABCs?
 * what kind of person would say in everyday language, "how do you write your name in the Latin alphabet?"
 * Probably WT:TR is a better place for discussing this. I don't know if it helps but on this page: https://johotogoshinentai.tistory.com/86 they say

 * In Korean, it is actually very common to call the Latin alphabet 영어 (English language).
 * Searching 영어 이름 (English name) on Naver gives '한글 이름 로마자 표기' 검색, which is a tool that gives romanizations for a name in hangul.
 * Found in Talk:한글: "Many people also call the Latin alphabet, e.g. means to write Korean in the Latin alphabet."
 * And here are some examples that use 영어 for the romanization of one's Korean name:

 * Thank you for the links, but that is not quite what I mean.
 * I do not doubt that people speak in this way. But I suspect that everyday people do not treat "romaja" / the Latin alphabet as a separate concept from "English", especially since the result of "writing one's name in English" and "writing one's name in romaja" is functionally equivalent. (See also Talk:한글? But since that sense has been kept, I don't think I will push the issue further.)
