The Korean And Chinese Language


Hi. Welcome. Here you will learn about the Chinese and Korean Language.

In China, there are many different languages or dialects, but Mandarin is their official language. Usually only the tone of the language is changed. Many of the people speak Mandarin.

Korea's Language was invented and improved by an ambitious man named Sae-jong Dae-wong. He was a king and the progress he made toward his throne is very interesting. First, before him were two brothers. The first one was the one entitled to be crowned king. He was, but evidently he didn't have the brains and responsibility to rule over the country. He kept getting drunk and had many wives throughout his lifetime and was very careless. He was eventually dethroned and the same thing was continued with the other brothers, and although they tried their best, they were all dethroned and lost their royal titles as ruling kings of Korea. It happened when the former king, the father of the children and now too old to claim back his position, depended on the youngest one, who was very bright and curious about various things. He proved himself worthy to wear the crown by showing off his skills to the king's assistants and soldiers. The brothers graciously gave up their title, deciding that their little brother would rule Korea successfully. He was then named the ruler of Korea. He was very eager to make changes and improve the economy of Korea. He invented the sun-dial and other very useful instruments. He then invented Korean. Before, the Koreans had always used old forms of Chinese characters to write messages and letters. The king thought that Korea should be ashamed of not having their own language and worked very long and hard to create what we now use and call the Korean Language.
