Korean is the official language of both North and South Korea. It also has official status in the province of Yanbian, in the People’s Republic of China, It is estimated that 78 million people worldwide speak Korean. Outside of Northeast Asia, significant size communities of Korean speakers can be found in North America, Brazil and Japan.
Korean remains unclassified as a language. Many linguists have proposed that Korean is of the Altaic family of languages but other scholars have argued that it is of the Uralic family. There is also some argument that Korean is related to the Japanese language but this remains contested.
Korean has several different dialects. In general, these dialects are classified according to the eight traditional provinces of Korea. Chungcheong, Gangwon. Gyeongsang Hamgyon, Hwanghae, Jeolla, Jeju and P'yong'an. Standard Korean in South Korea is based on the variation used in Seoul while standard Korean in North Korea is based on the P'yongyang dialect.
Korean was originally written in Chinese characters, referred to as Hanja but this practice has been abolished in North Korea while in South Korea, it is only occasionally used to write Sino-Korean words. The Korean alphabet is called Hangul and consists of 24 letters, 14 consonants and 10 vowels. These are combined into blocks of syllables which are further combined to form words.
