Topic: Korean - Turkic Posted: 16-Jun-2007 at 03:17 |
As I believe Korean, along with Japanese, are part of Altaic language and share the same roots, I had already started the topic 'Japanese - Turkic' which still has got a long way to go. And this is for 'Korean - Turkic.
Much is known about Middle Korean, the language spoken in the 15th century (when the script was invented); but unfortunately information about the language before that time is limited. Several hundred words of early Middle Korean were written with phonograms in the vocabularies compiled by the Chinese as far back as 1103. A still earlier form of the language, sometimes called Old Korean, has been inferred from place-names and from the 25 poems (called ‘Hyangga’) that were composed as early as the 10th century and reflect the language of the Silla kingdom. Written with Chinese characters used in various ways to stand for Korean meanings and sounds, the poems are difficult to understand, and there is no common idea on the meaning of the content. That’s why I could only compare the Proto – Korean, Middle Korean and Modern Korean.

1- Korean usually gets rid of the Proto - Altaic endings such as ‘pa’/’pe’, ‘qa’/’ke’, ‘na’/ne’, etc or changes them into to ‘stop’s which are shown as ‘ih’/’hi’, ‘ah’/’ha’. When they are initial, the simple stops ‘p’, ‘t’, and ‘k’ are pronounced much as in English ‘pie’, ‘tie’, ‘kite’), with light aspiration. When final, they are cut off with no release; like the saying English “Up! Out! Back!”. So please note that by writing Korean ‘kaph’ here, I don’t mean ‘kaf’. What I mean is that there’s a stop on ‘p’ and it is followed by an aspiration.
2- Korean shifts a lot between Proto – Altaic ‘r’ and ‘l’.

Proto – Altaic: muti
English: to complete; gather, together
Proto – Korean: mot
Middle Korean: mota
Modern Korean: modu
Proto – Turkic: bt, bit
Old Turkic: 1- bt (to accomplish, to end); 2- btn (together; completely)
Modern Turkic: 1- bt, bit, pt, pit; 2- btn, btin, ptn, ptin
Notes: Korean ‘mota’ and ‘modu’ are derived from the verbal root moˋt- 'to gather, flock together'. Proto - Turkic ‘btn’ 'all, whole' is a derivative from ‘bt-‘. Here, Turkic word is a good match for Tungus - Manchu (as partner for Korean) equivalent also : it is quite satisfactory both phonetically and semantically.

Proto – Altaic: koke
English: plenty
Proto – Korean: kih (big)
Middle Korean: khi
Modern Korean: khi
Proto – Turkic: kk (1- root 2-powerful)
Old Turkic:
Modern Turkic: kk
Notes: The meaning 'big' in Korean certainly derives from 'plentiful'. The match between Korean ‘khɨ-‘ and Japanese ‘kəkə-‘ appears quite satisfactory.

Proto – Altaic: kume, kiume
English: black; coal
Proto – Korean: kim (black)
Middle Korean: kim
Modern Korean: kim, kam
Proto – Turkic: kmr (coal)
Old Turkic: kmr
Modern Turkic: kmr, kmer, kumir
Notes: Modern length is a later change. This word is present only in Korean and Turkic and also in old Koguryo (of Japanese dialects) ‘kamul’'black'. Perhaps also Manchu
‘ʯumara-‘'to sully'. The comparison seems quite possible, although the scarcity of reflexes prevents a secure reconstruction of vocalism.

Modern Korean words in Revised Romanization
(To) Gather: Moi(da) Ashes: Jae Skin: Pibu, Ggeopjil Belly: Bae (To be) Big: Keu(da) Black Color: Ggaman(saek) Breast: Gaseum (A common and slightly vulgar term used by children to refer to a woman's breasts is Jjijji, if that's what you were going for.) (To) Burn: Ta(da) (Finger) Nail/(Toe) Nail: (Son)top, (Bal)top [There doesn't seem to be a word for simply a nail.]

Proto – Altaic: choki
English: incline, sink
Proto – Korean: chuk (1-to die 2- to kill = chuk-yo 3- to bow, incline 4- to squat)
Middle Korean: 1- chuk 3- chuskiri 4- chok-yom (killing)
Modern Korean: 1- chuk 2- chugi 3,4- chugiri
Proto – Turkic: chk (1- to kneel down 2- to sink 3- to sit)
Old Turkic: chk
Modern Turkic: chk, chk, shk, sgrj
Notes: The original meaning must have been 'squat', 'kneel down' - whence 'incline, sink', and further metaphorical developments: 'lose hope', 'die'.

Notes: The Korean form ’kahi’ points to a suffixed ‘ka-h-‘ (from ‘ka’ as a verb + -k-). Also Modern Korean ‘kin'uini 'a kind of dog’.
