Encyclopedia > Jeju Dialect

Jeju dialect is the dialect used on the island of Jeju in Korea, with the exception of Chuja. It differs greatly from the dialects of the mainland, and preserves many archaic words which are lost in them. It has borrowed many words from Japanese and Chinese, and there are many words which appear to be original formations (possibly from the language of Tamna). The kingdom of Tamna or Tamnaguk ruled Jeju Island from ancient times until it was absorbed by the Korean Joseon Dynasty in 1404. ...


Another difference is the slightly different intonation of words. The Jeju Dialect tends to use more stress on certain syllables.


One large difference is the lack of formality and deference to elders. For example, while a speaker of the Seoul Dialect might say "ahn-nyung-ha-se-yo" (Hello) to an older person, a speaker of the Jeju dialect would say "ban-gap-si-o" (How do you do?) To many mainlanders, a child saying this to an adult would be appaling, but on the islands, a more "egalitarian" form of speech is used. The Seoul dialect is the basis of the standard dialect of Korean in South Korea. ...
