The Korean language, also a member of the Altaic language family, is spoken by about 57 million people, 39 in South Korea ( the Republic of Korea ) and 18 in North Korea ( Democratic People’s Republic ). There are some differences between the language of the North and of the South.

Some Korean words come from Chinese. These words are written in Chinese characters, KANJE. But unlike Japanese, words of Korean origin are never written in Kanje. During the 15th century, a local phonetic script called En-mum (today known as Hangul) was invented. It was not based on Chinese models like the Japanese script, but on Sanskrit, the phonetic alphabet of ancient India. For a long time, the script was used only by the common people. The royal court and most important writers continued to use Chinese characters until the late 19th century. Today, however, Hangul is used by everyone in North Korea. In the south, the use of borrowed Chinese characters as well as Hangul is discouraged but nevertheless still accepted.

When the Japanese took over control of Korea in 1919, they ended the use and teaching of Korean. But after the end of the world war II, Hangul was revived, although Chinese writing is still taught in schools in South Korea.
