rladms45 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Cannot figure out what language this is in but would like to know what it says, has been in the family for a long time and noone knows the meaning of it. Great thanks to anyone who can tell me the language and what it says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguaholic Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's most probably Korean. Can't read it though. But if it is indeed Korean, we will be able to figure it out here on Linguaholic.com ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguaholic Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 And as far as I can tell, the second 'plate' is the wrong way around.....I mean as far as the Korean 'letters' go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇崎ちゃん Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 That's Korean indeed. I don't know any Korean, but I can read it at the very least. Don't blame me for using spaces on the wrong spots, as I said I don't know any Korean. I yeong ae (cheon sam do seong) 1969.7.16.

Great thanks to anyone who can tell me the language and what it says Expand Hi! I asked a former colleague from work and asked if he could translate it for me. The texts are indeed Hangul, and according to my Korean colleague, the writing means the following: Lee, Youngae 1969.07.16 to celebrate the visit of Gwangju, Korea Hope this helps Cuba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinayaSpeaks Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I think its Korean. However, I cannot decipher what it exactly says. By the way Korean as well as Japanese language evolved from Chinese script and looks and sounds like Chinese language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I disagree, Korean and Japanese have no tones, Chinese does. So they can't sound like Chinese. Additionally, Chinese characters in Japanese have multiple readings, they have only 1 reading in Chinese. Mostly. And they're rarely used in Korean at all.
