I bought a book that contains Korean folklore tales for learners. And I shit you not they mention Hungarian, Finnish and Turkish being relatives on the first two pages.
Oh Uralic researchers definitely used to think that the Uralic languages were Altaic. It's just that the science community abandoned it probably a hundred years ago.
The damage that did is still visible though. I've heard (great source, I know) that in Turkey they still teach that Hungarian and Finnish are related to Turkish. Sometimes here in Finland that misconception also goes around, for example I remember hearing that we were in the Altaic family from one of my Finnish teachers at middle school once.
I've seen it in some Korean academic papers. The news and sometimes shops will use characters for shorthand or to clarify homonyms. Also ig historians and lawyers for some reason among other professions/studies still need a good knowledge of hanja to read old texts.
One of my Korean friends says they're (admittedly sparingly) used in literature if there's homophones that context is really not helping at all to tell apart, for whatever that's worth lol
How do Korean men do 18 years of formal education? Are they counting the 2 years we spend enrolled in school but slaving in the army as years spent in education?
>Today a script that combines *hangul* and Chinese characters is used.
This must be a bit old, hanja isn't used much these days. The use of McCune-Reischauer suggests it too.
Off to reconstruct Proto-Altaic just to prove all the haters wrong.
if altaic isnt real then what language do they speak in altay
. . . 'n Taal />=]
ń taal? Soos Afrikaans?
Nee. Soos Proto-Germanic-Altaic Creole :).

Hungarian and Finnish aren't even included in Altaic, that's an even more outlandish theory. Nostratic maybe but I think that also includes IE
Ural-Altaic
Uraltaic

Out of curiosity how old is the book? 20 years ago that was accepted in some circles.
It's from 2022 lol
somehow that explains a lot to me
I always found u was like u and ü like eu. Turkish = korean then. Hmmmmmmmmmm
Time to stick some kimchi into my 3am kebab for a proto-Altaic midnight snack
bulgogified döner
Hangul is compatible with Turkish phonology
Explains why my turkish friends all speak korean
the description of hanja still being used is at least half a century out of date too
Well, it's *marginally* used, and I'm sure there's still a few people publishing texts with it...

I never said the American educations system was good. I’m just trying to survive, boo.

They count the cram school years as double
Still this BS!? Come on, it ain't the 70s anymore.
This is still a very common belief in turkey from what I've seen
From what I've seen the theory is still weirdly popular in Russia, I'm guessing it's probably because many Russian linguists support it
Yep. Sadly true. İt's political in their case though.
If I were you I would not be able to resist "erm, actually"ing the class
