Outline of the Korean language
Topical guide to the Korean language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Korean language:
Korean – East Asian language spoken by about 80 million people.[1] It is a member of the Koreanic language family and is the official and national language of North Korea and South Korea, which form Korea. It is also one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture and Changbai Korean Autonomous County of Jilin, China. Historical and modern linguists classify Korean as a language isolate;[2][3][4][5][6][7] however, it does have a few extinct relatives, which together with Korean and the Jeju language (spoken on Jeju Island and considered distinct) form the Koreanic language family.[8][9] Korean is agglutinative in its morphology and SOV in its syntax.
