South Korean standard language

In today's world, South Korean standard language is an issue that has gained relevance in various areas of society. From the political to the scientific sphere, South Korean standard language has become a point of constant interest and debate. With great influence on the way people interact and carry out their daily lives, it is crucial to understand and analyze the implications of South Korean standard language in our daily lives. In this article, we will explore the different perspectives and dimensions of South Korean standard language, as well as its impact on today's society.

The South Korean standard language or Pyojuneo (Korean: 표준어; Hanja: 標準語; lit. Standard language) is the South Korean standard version of the Korean language. It is based on the Seoul dialect, although various words are borrowed from other regional dialects. It uses the Korean alphabet, created in December 1443 CE by the Joseon-era king Sejong the Great. Unlike the North Korean standard language (문화어, Munhwaŏ), the South Korean standard language includes many loan-words from Chinese, as well as some from English and other European languages.

History

When Korea was under Japanese rule, the use of the Korean language was regulated by the Japanese government. To counter the influence of the Japanese authorities, the Korean Language Society (한글 학회) began collecting dialect data from all over Korea and later created their own standard version of Korean, Pyojuneo, with the release of their book Unification of Korean Spellings (한글 맞춤법 통일안) in 1933.
