( I have also noted those peculiar published maps ,which include half of Japan ,also a big part of Mantchuria etc as having being parts of an ancient Korean Empire .It is very impressive . But, who has been the introducer of them ? Please,do Give us some further cartographer's details ;in particular, some researchers' names, any officially approved Institute's name , college or University etc )<br><br>I have also to submit a query to all of you ,for instance. <br>1. Which one has been the ancient Korean way of both oral and written languange ,before Silla 's ? It could have not been some signals of Fume, of course ! <br>2. There are 24 + plus 2 voiceless characters in Modern Hangeul,which tends to finally present 25 plus 1 voiceless one ,rather. . However ,Hangeul had had 28 through a previous approval of 32 ones ,initially .<br>The numerical correlations in regards the number 2 & 3 are very important for some strange linguistics ( e.g Soem signs in a super advanced biology )-(What is this ? )<br>In addition, what does it mean some peculiar petroglyphs have dated some strange letters since 1600 a.C ; to which no one has hardly attempted enough to provide any info in regards that peculiar date in 2333 AC -or to publish a certain work of what they did mean ,really ?<br>Which has been the method of calculating the era of those peculiar petroglyphs ,also who has been the main official scientific group of researchers ,etc ?<br>Perhaps,something much significantly important is expected to be extracted form all that provided info. For the peculiar ancient Sino-Korean radicals are already being known in all over the world ,you see.<br>Some of us are investigating their origin also the ecrypted message by an extremly angular way .<br> Whether those radicals represent a Chinese or a Korean invention in origin ,it represents the less hypothesis to make us being interested for something much bigger than what is being faced, by all respect .<br><br>I represent a foreigner,also an investigator of the so called Sino Korean radicals . Th only I could inform you is as following .<br>There is a peculiar numerical relationship between the 64 Hexagrams of I -Ching and the 256 characters of ancient Hanjiway's alpahabet .<br>Perhaps, it might reflect at the entire humanity .<br><br>Finally,why all Korean English Dictionaries have adopted only 240 characters instead of 256 ? - or even 214,sometimes! <br>How do the Korean lingustic centers agree for something like that ? Don't they know their cultural legacy ? - I wonder !<br><br>Best regards to all of you,<br>LAMDA<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6081">Lamda</a> — Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:03 pm</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author><name><![CDATA[thamoskuk9]]></name></author> <updated>2009-09-05T08:14:37+00:00</updated> <published>2009-09-05T08:14:37+00:00</published> <id>http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=25559#p25559</id> <link href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=25559#p25559"/> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Re: Korean invented chinese language]]></title> <content type="html" xml:base="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=25559#p25559"><![CDATA[ As an anthropological fact, many Asian languages have adopted some Chinese characters.

There is substantial genetic, linguistic, cultural and social diversity between its various subgroups, mainly due to thousands of years of regionalized assimilation of various ethnic groups and tribes in China. <br>The history of the Han Chinese ethnic group is closely tied to that of China. Han Chinese trace their ancestry back to the Huaxia, people who lived along the Yellow River in northern China. The famous Chinese historian Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian dates the reign of the Yellow Emperor, the legendary ancestor of Han Chinese, to 2698 BCE to 2599 BCE. Although study of this period of history is complicated by lack of historical records, discovery of archaeological sites have identified a succession of Neolithic cultures along the Yellow River. Along the central reaches of the Yellow River were the Jiahu culture (7000 BCE to 6600 BCE), Yangshao culture (5000 BCE to 3000 BCE) and Longshan culture (3000 BCE to 2000 BCE). Along the lower reaches of the river were the Qingliangang culture (5400 BCE to 4000 BCE), the Dawenkou culture (4300 BCE to 2500 BCE), the Longshan culture (2500 BCE to 2000 BCE), and the Yueshi culture. <br><br>dont you guys get it Kanji or Hanja are CREATED BY HANS CHINESE or they dont <br>name it HANJA or KANJI <br><br><br>oldest East Asian writing <br>Oracle bone script (Chinese: 甲骨文; pinyin: jiǎgǔwén; literally "shell bone writing") refers to incised (or, rarely, brush-written) ancient Chinese characters found on oracle bones, which are animal bones or turtle shells used in divination in ancient China. The vast majority of the bones are ox scapulae and tortoise plastrons which record the pyromantic divinations of the royal house of the late Shang dynasty, primarily at the capital of Yin (modern Anyang, Henan Province), and date from around 1200-1100 B.C.A few are from Zhengzhou and date to earlier in the dynasty, around the 16th to 14th centuries BC,while a very few date to the beginning of the subsequent Zhou dynasty. <br><br><br>AND <br>Hangeul (the Korean alphabet) was created by King Sejong in 1443. Prior to Hangeul, all of the Korean literati used the Hanja writing system, which were traditional Chinese characters with Korean pronunciation and meaning, and used a written language known as Hanmun, which was basically Classical Chinese, for official court documents. However, even with the advent of the Korean alphabet, use of Hanja and Hanmun in daily correspondence was not discontinued, with the Korean aristocracy, educated in Classical Chinese for the transcription of the Korean language, assumed condescending attitudes toward Hangeul and any kind of usage of it (as displayed by the number of pejoratives used to refer to it). <br>King Sejong explained that he created the new script because the Korean language was different from Chinese; using Chinese characters (known as Hanja) to write was so difficult for the common people that only the male aristocrats (yangban) could read and write fluently. (A few female members of the royal family could also do so to a certain extent). The majority of Koreans were effectively illiterate before Hangul's invention. <br>so if the Korean created "Chinese" why is so hard for them too learn it and they have to change it to a new one??? hum doesnt sound right? <br><br>AND one more thing <br><br>I think people who thought of "Korea Created Chinese IDEA" want to Destroy the Relationship between South/North Korea and China! <br>they just want us to battle they dont like the world so they thought of a Stuipd IDEA try to destroy us WAKE UP PEOPLE and STOP ARGUING<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3573">bcyc2004</a> — Thu Dec 13, 2007 5:26 am</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author><name><![CDATA[bcyc2004]]></name></author> <updated>2007-12-13T05:07:12+00:00</updated> <published>2007-12-13T05:07:12+00:00</published> <id>http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19955#p19955</id> <link href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19955#p19955"/> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Re: You don't know history of korea]]></title> <content type="html" xml:base="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19955#p19955"><![CDATA[ <blockquote class="uncited"><div>I have no time to make a comment on your messages, but I just give you what's the history of korea documented by the careful archealogical studies.<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Korea" class="postlink">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Korea</a><br><br>History of Korea<br>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br>Jump to: navigation, search<br>This article is about the history of Korea, through the division of Korea in 1940s.

According to the legend, the first dynasty of Gojoseon was founded in 2333 BC, and it eventually stretched from the peninsula to much of Manchuria.[2] By 3rd Century BC, it was in decline and eventually broke apart, producing a multitude of successor states.</strong><br><br>In the early Common Era, the Three Kingdoms (Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje) along with Gaya Confederacy and Buyeo, conquered other successor states of Gojoseon and came to dominate the peninsula and much of Manchuria. They competed with each other and Chinese dynasties both economically and militarily. While Goguryeo and Baekje were more powerful for much of the era, defeating Chinese invasions several times, by the 7th century, Silla's power gradually extended across Korea and it eventually established the first unified state to cover most of Korean peninsula by 676.<br><br>This period is often called Unified Silla. Soon after the fall of Goguryeo however, former Goguryeo general Dae Joyeong led a group of Koreans to the eastern Manchuria and founded Balhae (698 AD - 926 AD) as the successor to Goguryeo. After Barhae was defeated in 926, much of its people led by the Crown Prince was absorbed into Goryeo.<br><br>Unified Silla itself fell apart in the late 9th century, giving way to the tumultuous Later Three Kingdoms period (892-936), which ended with the establishment of the Goryeo Dynasty. During the Goryeo period, laws were codified, a civil service system was introduced, and Buddhism flourished. In 1238, the Mongolian Empire invaded and after nearly thirty years of war, the two sides signed a peace treaty.</div></blockquote><span style="font-size:150%;line-height:116%"><br> According to the legend, the first dynasty of Gojoseon was founded in 2333 BC, and it eventually stretched from the peninsula to much of Manchuria.</span><br><br>hum im NOT sure what is LEGEND MEANS people isnt means a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical<br><br>if so that MEANS u gave us a NOHISTORICAL STORY U F'N LIER<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3573">bcyc2004</a> — Thu Dec 13, 2007 5:07 am</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author><name><![CDATA[KongLingWei]]></name></author> <updated>2007-12-13T02:59:11+00:00</updated> <published>2007-12-13T02:59:11+00:00</published> <id>http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19953#p19953</id> <link href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19953#p19953"/> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Korean invented chinese language]]></title> <content type="html" xml:base="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19953#p19953"><![CDATA[ <strong class="text-strong">Hi, Peter<br><br>I am so angry about the f**king South Koreans.<br><br>Do you believe that oral evidence speak by South Korean ?
