It is a member of the Koreanic language family and is the official and national language of both Koreas: North Korea and South Korea, with different standardized official forms used in each territory . It is also one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture and Changbai Korean Autonomous County of Jilin province, China . Historical and modern linguists classify Korean as a language isolate; however, it does have a few extinct relatives, which together with Korean itself and the Jeju language (spoken in the Jeju Province and considered somewhat distinct) form the Koreanic language family . This implies that Korean is not an isolate, but a member of a micro-family . The idea that Korean belongs to the controversial Altaic language family is discredited in academic research . Korean is now often included in Paleosiberian, a group of ancient languages in Northeast Asia . Paleosiberian is not a language family per se, but a term of convenience for genetically unrelated languages that predate other regional language families such as Tungusic and Turkic . Korean is agglutinative in its morphology and SOV in its syntax . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section does not cite any sources .
