Summary:
Just as in any language, Korean has several dialects. The difference between a language and a dialect is not clear, but the best way I can explain it is a dialect is a variation of a language that may slow down the efficiency of communication but does not fully hinder communication. A language, on the other hand, is a collection of dialects.
Although the Korean peninsula is mostly homogeneous, there are multiple dialects born from the isolation created by Korea’s mountainous terrain. The majority of Korean dialects are spoken rather than written. Variations in dialects can include vocabulary, intonation, and stress.
Among the various dialects, there is a one which is considered the lingual ‘stand.’ Because of the division between North and South Korea, there are two standards. The Seoul dialect is the standard for the south and Pyongyang is the standard for the north. In total, there are about 9 different dialects on Korean peninsula, and one on Jeju island (although some linguists categorize the Jeju dialect as its own language).
My self-directed studies placed me within the context of the Korean language. As my studies progressed, I gained a greater consciousness of the subtilties of a language, like the existence of dialects in Korean. Finally, my studies have increased my ability to research and understand topics concerning language and linguistics.
