朝鮮語系(英語:Koreanic languages),也稱韓語系和高麗語系,是世界主要語系之一,包括現代的朝鮮語、濟州語[1],以及一些有爭議的已經滅亡的語言。其中濟州語常被視為是一種方言,但其語言上的歧異度幾乎可以視為是一種獨立語言。目前,朝鮮語系主要通行於朝鮮半島以及中國東北地區,使用人口約0.78億。
The latter is often described as a dialect of Korean, but is distinct enough to be considered a separate language. Alexander Vovin suggests that the Yukjin dialect of the far northeast should be similarly distinguished. Korean has been richly documented since the introduction of the Hangul alphabet in the 15th century. Earlier renditions of Korean using Chinese characters are much more difficult to interpret.
All modern varieties are descended from the Old Korean of the state of Silla. The little that is known of other languages spoken on the peninsula before the Sillan unification (late 7th century) comes largely from placenames. Some of these languages are believed to have been Koreanic, but there is also evidence suggesting that Japonic languages were spoken in central and southern parts of the peninsula. There have been many attempts to link Koreanic with other language families, most often with Tungusic or Japonic, but no genetic relationship has been conclusively demonstrated.
