Korean Facts
Most of Korea's dialects have a close connection with the regions of Korea, since boundaries are often determined by mountains and seas
There are several differences between the language spoken in North and South Korea, but many pronunciations are the same and natives can speak to each other without too much difficulty
The classification of the modern Korean language is not certain - it has elements of an Altaic language, Japanese, Chinese, and some languages of the Eastern Turkic group
