The modern Sino-Korean, of course, is now very different from the ancient Chinese, which had being used for thousand years by Korean. The changes happened in the Korean language itself, and the phonetic rules of the language, had influenced the Sino-Korean very much, as though English "borrowed" the words from Latin. French etc. and adapted it to her own phonemic system.
There are three main rules Changed the Sino-Korean, thus as Ommission, Assimilation and Replacement. When aphoneme cannot be imitated completely, the learner rather abandon it. or replace it instead of similiar one, than exert himself. And then the ancient Chinese learned by Korean, according to her own phonemic system, some initials had been omnitled, e, g, z, ?, η (ㅿ. ㆆ. ㆁ,), and due to the rule of alliteration the [ㅣ-] and [n-] can't be prounced anteceded in a word. And some were replaced, for example, finol consonant [-t] by [-ㅣ], the labio-dental sound [f, f', v, m] by bi-labial sound [p, p', b' m], the dorsal sound [t, t', d,'] by apical sound [t, t', d'] the retroflex sound [t??, t??', dz', ??, z] by dental sontal sound [ts, ts', dz', s, z] etc. And the palatalization as well as the vowel simplification also ohanged the silo-korean.
