Aaah ok, thanks for clarifying. And yeah I like how they can stack letters together. It can make text much smaller.
I think in video games they don't always do that, right?
oh I meant Japanese games like Final Fantasy 1 for the NES. Aren't fonts way too small to fit multiple letters in one spot?
Notice the space allocated to the text, this is what I mean. Somehow I doubt they can fit an entire word in one character (unless I am misunderstanding the concept japaneese only works by syllables instead of words?)
aaah ok I see ^^

Oh, no. By syllable, I mean sound. In Korean, a written character is a single syllable of a word - not a whole word. A word usually consists of multiple syllables.
This (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Hangeul.svg) is an example of a Korean word. The word is "hangul," which describes their writing system. The image outlines each letter that makes up the two syllables of the word. (han-gul)
I Actually found the whole article to be an interesting read. Thanks for the link! =)
Also do you know if the same Korean language is used between both North and South Korea?And yes, we do use same language, although some vocabularies are a bit different (North Koreans use more of ancient vocabulary from the history, whereas South Koreans use more of modern vocabulary)
