 | | The provincial boundaries closely reflected major regional and dialect boundaries, and are still often referred to in Korean today simply as the Eight Provinces (Paldo). |
 | | In 1896, the former eight provinces were restored, with five of them (Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, Jeolla, HamgyÅng, and P'yÅngan) being divided into North and South Provinces (Bukdo (ë¶ë; å—é“) and Namdo (ë¨ë; å—é“) respectively). |
