Their Language


The Korean Language
Koreans are one ethnic family that are able to communicate with each other with the Korean Language. The Korean Language is spoken by more than 65million people in Korea and 5.5million Koreans living in other countries. Because of the fact that Koreans speak and write the same language, they have a strong national identity. In modern Korea, dialects are spoken as well but they are about the same as the standard Korean Language and as such, speakers or listeners do not encounter with trouble understanding one another.

Hangul



Hangul is the Korean alphabet that was created to write out the Korean Language. It is made up of 14 consonants and 10 vowels. Koreans are proud to have invented their own series of syllables that will combine to form a word and they even have a day whereby they celebrate the creation of Hangul on October 9 in South Korea which is known as the Hangul Proclamation Day.
