Korean is a language spoken by over 80 million people, primarily in South Korea and North Korea. It is a member of the Koreanic language family and is not closely related to any other language.

Korean has a unique writing system called Hangul, which was invented in the 15th century and is considered one of the most scientifically designed alphabets in the world. The grammar of Korean is relatively simple, with a basic subject-object-verb word order, but it has a complex system of honorifics and a large vocabulary, with many loanwords from Chinese.

Korean has a rich cultural and historical heritage, with a long tradition of poetry, music, and storytelling, and is also an important language for international business and cultural exchange, particularly in the fields of technology and entertainment. In addition to being spoken in South Korea and North Korea, Korean is also widely spoken by Korean expatriates and is studied as a second language by many people around the world.
