Notes
^† The two transliterations given for the Korean numerals are based on the Revised Romanization of Korean and the older McCune–Reischauer romanization, respectively.
^‡ As with Japanese and Vietnamese, Korean uses two different numbering systems, one based on native vocabulary and one based on a Sino-Xenic numbering system (Sino-Korean). In modern Korean, the latter system is more commonly used. See previous note for transliteration information. Note also North-South differences in the Korean language.

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or isolates:

    “Language is filled
    with words for deprivation
    images so familiar
    it is hard to crack language open
    into that other country
    the country of being.”
    —Susan Griffin (b. 1943)

    “In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
