It's certainly the only language that was created by a king! It was invented in the reign of King Sejong at the end of the 15th century. It was created by King Sejong in the 15th Century. Korean alphabet is often mentioned as one of the most flawless writing systems around the globe. It is simple to master and read because it is nearly phonetic, and doesn't make any distinction between lower and upper case letters.

Another fascinating aspect to consider about Korean translation is the fact that it is a language that encompasses two distinct political systems in a once unification country that is now divided between the capitalist South Korea and communist North Korea. In general Koreans from both the North and South are able to communicate with each other, but there are a variety of differences in the way they speak, especially in the political realm.

In recent years, it has become more popular to learn Englishes in countries that traditionally belong to the Expanding Circle world Englishes like China (see e.g. He & Li, 2009), Russia (see e.g. Davydova, 2012) or the Netherlands (Edwards, 2010, 2011). South Korea (henceforth Korea) is part of the Expanding Circle as well, which means that English has the status as a foreign language. It is not widely used English within Koreans are not as widespread however English is a highly prestigious place within Korean society. In the next discussion the sociolinguistic context of Korea will be presented and will attention to the status of English. Based on data from a sample corpus, I will present the formation of various forms of Koreanized English that are partially affected by the Korean language, but also potential result of the language learning process. This includes idiosyncratic and general characteristics.
