Interesting Facts About Korean
Discover the rich history, culture, and unique characteristics of the Korean language.
The World's Most Scientific Alphabet
Hangul (한글), the Korean alphabet, was invented by King Sejong in 1443. UNESCO has praised it as one of the most scientific and logical writing systems ever created. Each consonant is designed to represent the shape of the speech organs used to pronounce it.
A Language Isolate Mystery
Korean (한국어) is considered a "language isolate" - it has no proven genetic relationship with any other language. Some linguists suggest connections to Japanese or Altaic languages, but this remains debated among scholars.
Seven Speech Levels
Korean has seven distinct speech levels (높임말 and 반말) that indicate the relationship between speaker and listener. Proper use of honorifics (존댓말) is crucial in business and social contexts - a wrong level can cause serious offense.
The Hallyu (Korean Wave) Effect
K-pop groups like BTS and BLACKPINK, plus K-dramas on Netflix, have driven a 45% increase in Korean language learners worldwide since 2018. The Korean Wave (한류) has made 한국어 the fastest-growing language on Duolingo.
Tech Industry Powerhouse
South Korea is home to Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and gaming giants like Nexon and NCSoft. Korean (한국어) technical translation is in high demand for electronics, automotive, and gaming industries with global reach.
