Very Interesting. I was told that Korean (Hangul) is one of the closest languages to Hungary...spoken, not written because of east Asian alphabet...

Hangul is the name for the Korean alphabet--the only alphabet invented in east Asia.

Korean may or may not be distantly related to Japanese--expert opinion seems to be divided. If there is any connection between Korean and Hungarian it would be very remote. The languages related to Hungarian are in western Siberia, a long ways away from the Korean peninsula.
