About the Korean Language

Korean is the official language of the country Korea, in both South and North. It is also one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in People's Republic of China. There are about 78 million Korean speakers worldwide. In the 15th century, a national writing system was commissioned by Sejong the Great, the system being currently called Hangul.

Korean Community in Australia

Australia's Korean community has grown consistently and is now one of the country's significant migrant communities, concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne. The community profile is diverse: long-term settlers who have raised families here, newer arrivals on skilled and business visas, a large international student cohort, and Korean nationals employed by Korean corporations operating in Australia. The growth of Korean cultural influence globally has also increased demand for Korean translation in business, entertainment, and media contexts beyond migration alone. Korean is written in Hangul — a phonemic alphabet created in the 15th century by Sejong the Great, expressly designed to be learnable by ordinary people. It is logically structured and widely considered one of the world's most scientific writing systems. For translation purposes, the key point is that modern South Korean government documents are almost entirely in Hangul; some technical or legal documents may include Hanja (Chinese characters) but this is now uncommon in official records. South Korea is a Hague Apostille Convention member, which simplifies document authentication considerably. Korean civil documents are issued in a standardised format through the government's civil registration system (가족관계등록부 — Family Relationship Register), which makes them among the more straightforward documents to work with from an authentication standpoint.
