Hi,
What do you call the additional sound that Koreans say after words that end in consonant sound?

ex. Judge, they say /jud gie/
breakfast, they say /brek fas tu/


Thank you.
 
Hello Richelle,
This could be called either 'epenthesis' or 'intrusion' and I'd lean toward intrusion for this Korean habit.
