explanation of the superiority of korean konglish

konglish - the use of asian syllables/alphabets to make english words.

in the national museum, there's an exhibition on hangeul, the korean alphabet, and its superiority in making english words.

first, their koreanization of the japanese "hanbaga" is wrong, they write it "haengbawgaw" in korean. second, some of the korean romanizations have been printed incorrectly in english, such as "enguland" - should be "engulanduh" third, why would you be so proud of something this gay? "we are the best at speaking english incorrectly! in all the pacific rim!" kinda like "hey, we just won the special olympics!"

@DaFawky it's assessment, not comprehension. just calling a spade a spade.

@DaFawky yeah, just as i had thought... the only thing you have going for you is that you have an internet connection. absolutely zero going on in dafawky land otherwise.

Nice how it shows the Chinese for "Silk Road" as being bad when it's not even a transliteration; "sichou zhi lu" actually just means the name, it's not an attempt to pronounce the English

sometimes korean sounded like when a french speaker would have pronounced it (e.g. England)

the main problem in this vid that the national museum concocted is that they misrepresented japanese usage of loanwords to make korean loanwords look better.

"han ba ga" was mis-koreanized as "haeng beo geo", when you could have just said "han ba ga" with hangeul.

it was bullshit, and i expect more from people with university degrees.

but in the end, i agree. no language is superior, it's a retarded way to think. languages sprout up from roots that are too elaborate to prove superiority.

I dislike anyone going on about how their language is supposedly superior to other tongues. All languages are capable of great beauty and power of expression.

I don't have time to learn Japanese (my plate is full learning Korean right now), but I do think it's a nice-sounding language.

I've even met Italians who say that it's not too hard for them to learn it, cause they both have very simple phonologies, even though they're totally different language families.
