	Korean alphabet, pronunciation and language
		The Koreans borrowed a huge number of Chinese words, gave Korean readings and/or meanings to some of the Chinese characters and also invented about 150 new characters, most of which are rare or used mainly for personal or place names.
		The Korean alphabet was invented in 1444 and promulgated it in 1446 during the reign of King Sejong (r.1418-1450), the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty.
		Korean can be written in vertical columns running from top to bottom and right to left, or in horizontal lines running from left to right.

	Korean language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korean is agglutinative in its morphology and SOV in its syntax.
		The classification of the modern Korean language is uncertain, and due to the lack of any one generally-accepted theory, it is sometimes described conservatively as a language isolate.
		Korean is similar to Altaic languages in that they both have the absence of certain grammatical elements, including number, gender, articles, fusional morphology, voice, and relative pronouns (Kim Namkil).

	Korean as standart language
		Korean system of the “levels of speech”, albeit closely paralleled by the Japanese system of honorific expressions, is perhaps unique in that it utilizes both grammatical markers of several kinds (case markers, honorific suffixes, special verbal particles) and special words and expressions.
		From 1941-1942, Koreans started to be officially considered “Japanese” (of “inferior branch”, of course), and Korean language proclaimed “non-existent”; only the defeat of Japan in 1945 returned to the Koreans their native tongue.
		Thus, “Korean language globalisation” cited by Korean governmental institutions as the main reason for lavishly subsidising foreign (first and foremost, American) Korean-teaching institutions, in reality is often limited to the preservation of Korean Diaspora’s ethnic legacy against the assimilation trends, and does not influence non-Korean local society too strong.
