It is a theory that the Korean language belongs to the Altaic language family, which includes Turkish, Mongolian, and Japanese. After King Sejong, monarch of the Yi Dynasty (1392-1910), created the Korean language, it came into contact with Chinese, Japanese, and English. It borrows words from their vocabulary and writes them in Hangul. Their language tends to adapt well with other languages, yet they still maintain the same grammatical structure of Subject-Object-Verb. The first Korean alphabet, created by King Sejong, could be an Isolate Language, meaning it has no relatives among other languages. Furthermore, their own honorific system is based on Confucian values. Over time, languages may change in how they sound and what they mean because of social change. To track, linguists may identify patterns through the language with resources such as case study observations, historical texts, and audio recordings. Furthermore, I found it interesting how the Korean language is different between South and North Korea. Yes, their dialects will be different because of regional differences, but I wonder how different they are and if linguistic differences were predicted to happen before they did.
