History of Korean language
ng eng chong
Korean is not closely related to any other
modern language. Despite
the longtime cultural influence of China upon
Korea and the use of
Chinese as the official written language of
Korea until the late 19th
century, Korean and Chinese belong to entirely
different linguistic
families. However, some experts believe that
Korean may belong to
the Ural-Altaic family--along with Japanese,
Mongolian.
Formal manuscripts did not appear in Korea
until the 4th century
AD, when educated Koreans wrote in Chinese.
Later, systems were
developed by which Korean words could be written
in Chinese
ideograms. The mastery of Chinese ideography was
very difficult,
however, and only scholars could read and write.
Hangul, an alphabet suited to the Korean
language, was developed
at the direction of King Sejong and introduced
in 1446. It was used
by the common people, but educated Koreans
continued to write in
Chinese. Hangul did not come into general use
until the end of the
19th century, when it became the official
alphabet for all laws and
decrees.
After the Japanese assumed complete control
of Korea in 1910,
they discouraged and then abolished the use and
teaching of Korean.
With the liberation of Korea at the end of World
War II, hangul was
revived. Today Korean texts and parts of Korean
newspapers are
printed in hangul. Chinese ideography is still
taught, but most writers
use hangul.

Even those of us who aren't wholly Korean know that. It's fairly
obvious, isn't it?

And your korean? Points dont exist in the material world. I think
thats your problem, singularity. And the issue of always looking for
a single, collimating variable is an issue that needs much more space
than is available here to explain.
The clusters of sounds in japanese and korean specifically, and in all
languages in general, have no meaning. They are simply 'carrier
signals' for telepathic, empathic, emotional projection. If the
psychic distance is short enough.
Koreans probably have more of an affinity to the chinese than any of
the altaic peoples/languages. And the japanese the koreans, more than
chinese.
As far as what the experts think. Dont talk about the frog in the
well about the world above.

Just the way space does not exist?
Ring ,field, ball, disc, line also do not exist?

Your problem is that you spew out a few randomly arranged smart
sounding words that you do not understand yourself and hope that others
mistake them for signs of profound intellect.

collimating variable... pehehheehhehe.

actually is an issue with respect to which you have no fucking clue
whatsoever except a fervent wish that others do not question your scam;
your phony ass will be hanging out in the cold.
Oh didn't you just say "point does not exist in material world"?
Neither does space(space being a set of points). So what the hell are
you yapping about?

And likewise your fantasy about your ancestry has no meaning. It is
simply a manifestation of random and uncoordinated electric neuro-
discharges. There may be some who understand your gibberish and believe
your phony story. If they are stupid enough.

And you are just an ordinary little chinese boy who at some point
decided to spruce up your life by claiming non-chinese ancestry.
Not necessarily that it was out of nothing.
Your uncle may have told you some fraudulent story about your "brave
nomadic" ancestors.
Your friend may have told you something about your looking like
mongols. And when Mongols told you a similar thing out of jest,
bingo!! it impressed upon this little chinese boy so much that he
decided to be an "ordos" man for the rest of his life. Bhahahahaha.
Your claim to brahmin ancestry pretty much forfeits any chances for
the benefit of doubt that some dim-wits may still be willing to grant
you.
