[Verginius Rufus]

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.

[Jan_Sobieski]

You are correct about Hangul. Did not mean to confuse the language with the script. Food for thought...(excerpt from article on the Korean Language)

Korean is one of the world's oldest living languages, and its origins are is as obscure as the origin of the Korean people. Nineteenth Century Western scholars proposed a number of theories that linked the Korean language with Ural-Altaic, Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan, Dravidian Ainu, Indo-European and other languages. Korean is most likely a distant relative of the Ural-Altaic family of languages which includes such diverse languages as Mongolian, Finnish, and Hungarian.
