Outside of tech: Korean! I find it absolutely fascinating to learn.
- spraak 7y agoI recall that the origin of Korean is somewhat mysterious, have you come across that?
- james_s_tayler 7y agoLinguistically it's grammatically about 80% the same as Japanese and if you replace Hangul with Hanja where possible you'll see a tonne of it's vocabulary is from Chinese. I guess what's mysterious is which of Korean / Japanese influenced which?? Korean has a slightly more complex grammar than Japanese. Not by much but there are some forms in Korean that don't exist in Japanese. But it's remarkable how they are almost identical.
