'''Korean''' (''Hangugeo'') is a languse spoken by all the people in [[Korea]] and a few million other people all over the world, especially in the [[United States]], [[China]], and the former [[USSR]].
Korean has no known language that it is related to, possibly except [[Japanese language|Japanese]]. It is often classified as an [[Altaic language]], because of it being an agglutinative language.
It is written in the [[Hangul]] alphabet, which was created by [[Sejong|King Sejong]] in the 15th century to increase literacy. However, hangul wasn't formally adopted until the early 20th century. Sometimes, Korean uses Chinese characters (''hanja''), which are most commonly used in personal names and historical texts.
