Old Korean is the historical variety of the Korean language or Koreanic languages dating from the beginning of Three Kingdoms
of Korea to the latter part of the Unified Silla, roughly from 1 AD to 1000 AD. It is distinct from Proto-Korean (원시 한국어),
the ancestral language reconstructed from comparison of Korean dialects. Old Korean may have been one of the Altaic languages,
although this has not been clearly established. The extent of Old Korean is unclear. It is generally accepted as including
Sillan, which is thought to be the direct ancestor of Middle and Modern Korean, and may also have included Buyeo, Goguryeo,
and Baekje. If so, Old Korean was a language family, not a single language. Only some literary records of Unified Silla, changed
into Goryeo text, are extant and some texts (written in their native Writing system) of the Three kingdoms period are mostly
available in form of inscriptions at present. Thus, the languages of the Three Kingdoms period are generally examined through
official government names and local district names. The point at which Old Korean became Middle Korean is assessed variously
by different scholars. The line is sometimes drawn in the late Goryeo dynasty, and sometimes around the 15th century in the
early Joseon Dynasty. But it is usually thought that Middle Korea started at the establishment of Goryeo, and the standard
language of Old Korean was changed from the Silla dialect to the Goryeo dialect. |
