The Goguryeo names for government posts are mostly similar to those of Baekje and Silla, two other kingdoms of Korea.

Less is known about the relationship between the languages of Gojoseon, Goguryo, and Baekje on one hand, and the Samhan and Silla on the other, although many Korean scholars believe they were mutually intelligible, and the collective basis of modern Korean.
The standard language (pyojuneo or pyojunmal) of South Korea is based on the dialect of the area around Seoul, and the standard for North Korea is based on the dialect spoken around P'yŏngyang.
Traditionally, the Korean language has had strong vowel harmony; that is, in pre-modern Korean, as in most Altaiclanguages, not only did the inflectional and derivational affixes (such as postpositions) change in accordance to the main root vowel, but native words also adhered to vowel harmony.
The classification of the modern Korean language is uncertain, and due to the lack of any one generally-accepted theory, it is sometimes described conservatively as a language isolate.
