Korean Facts
Korea has many dialects, though the standard language of South Korea is based on that spoken around Seoul, the capital; the standard for North Korea is the dialect spoken around P'yongyang
Similar to Japanese and Vietnamese in that it was heavily influenced by the Chinese language, around 60% of Korean words are derived from Chinese
Modern Korean is written with spaces between words, a feature not found in most other Asian languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese)
