Koreanic languages consist primarily of the Korean language, spoken in both North and South Korea, as well as by Korean communities in various countries around the world. Korean is characterized by its unique writing system, Hangul, which was developed in the 15th century, and features an agglutinative grammatical structure, where words are formed by adding various prefixes and suffixes. The language has a complex system of honorifics that reflect social hierarchy and respect. While there is some debate about whether Koreanic languages should be classified as a separate family or related to other language families, the study of Korean offers valuable insights into the history, culture, and social dynamics of the Korean people, as well as their interactions with neighboring cultures.
