The official language of South Korea is Korean, which is spoken by nearly the entire population. Korean is primarily written using Hangul, an alphabet developed in the 15th century during the reign of King Sejong. Although Korean is also spoken in North Korea, differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and usage have developed between the two countries.
