Languages



Korean, also known as Hangeul or Hangul, is the official language written and converse in South Korea. It has 24 characters, consist of 14 consonants and 3 vowels. Syllabuses are formed by combining chosen consonants and vowels to form words. It is the improvised version of Japanese and Chinese because in the past, Korean was written with the fusion of Chinese ideogram and Hangul, a native Korean. It is also similar to Japanese because the language is used in different level of form such as honorific, normal and inferior form when conversing with people of different rank. Turkish and Mongolian are also influential to what the Korean language is now.
