About the language

Korean is not related to any other living language, but it shares some grammatical similarities to Japanese and about two thirds of its vocabulary comes from Chinese. It also used to use the Chinese writing system before a 15th-century king created the Hangul alphabet to improve literacy rates. Korean is the official language of both North and South Korea, although there are different standardised forms in each. uTalk teaches South Korea’s variant. The next largest Korean-speaking populations are in China, Japan, Russia and the US.

Korean

is the native language for about 80 million people, mostly of Korean descent. It is the official and national language of both North Korea and South Korea (geographically Korea), but over the past 75 years of political division, the two Koreas have developed some noticeable vocabulary differences. Beyond Korea, the language is recognised as a minority language in parts of China, namely Jilin Province, and specifically Yanbian Prefecture and Changbai County. It is also spoken by Sakhalin Koreans in parts of Sakhalin, the Russian island just north of Japan, and by the Koryo-saram in parts of Central Asia.  The language has a few extinct relatives which—along with the Jeju language (Jejuan) of Jeju Island and Korean itself—form the compact Koreanic language family. Even so, Jejuan and Korean are not mutually intelligible with each other. The linguistic homeland of Korean is suggested to be somewhere in contemporary Northeast China. The hierarchy of the society from which the language originates deeply influences the language, leading to a system of speech levels and honorifics indicative of the formality of any given situation.

Fun facts of language

  • The language for ‘go on!’ – 화이팅! – is pronounced paiting and comes from the English ‘fighting’.
  • Telling the time in Korean requires two different number systems – the Korean system is used for the hours and the Chinese system for the minutes.
  • ‘Seoul’ literally translates as ‘capital’.
