 | | Although there are no indigenous minorities in North Korea, there is a small Chinese community (about 50,000) and some 1,800 Japanese wives who accompanied the roughly 93,000 Koreans returning to the North from Japan during 1959-62. |
 | | In North Korea, the Korean alphabet (hangul) is used exclusively, unlike in South Korea, where the dominant written language is in hangul and classical Chinese is used by minorities in academic circles such as newspapers and history research centers. |
 | | Christian missionaries arrived as early as the 16th century, but it was not until the 19th century that they founded schools, hospitals, and other modern institutions throughout Korea. |
