| rdfs:comment | A possible extinct language of Korea. Since it is known only from approximately thirteen placename glosses, evidence for this language is scant, and its existence is suspect. What evidence there is looks Japonic, but it is not known whether these placenames reflect the language of the Kara tribal confederation, or possibly some more earlier stage. ('en' language string) |
| rdfs:comment | Gaya (Kaya), also transliterated Kara, is the presumed language of the Gaya confederacy in southern Korea. It is supposedly attested from thirteen toponyms, but it cannot be certain that these reflect the Gaya language itself rather than an earlier language. These place names appear to be in a language related to Japanese, and constitute part of the evidence for the Japanese–Koguryoic hypothesis. However, Koguryo (Goguryeo) itself came from further north, and may have been a language related to Korean that replaced Japonic languages in southern Korea. As Gaya grew out of one of the Samhan nations, it may be that the Goguryeo-derived elite language of Baekje was related to Korean, while the indigenous Samhan language was related to Gaya, assuming they were not both related to Korean. That is, Gaya might not be one of the Buyeo languages but rather part of Japonic. ('en' language string) |
