Sino-Korean
The sino-Korean indicates the elements of the language Korean which come more or less directly from the Chinese i.e. the Hanja and the words formed from them ( hanjaeo (한자어; 漢字語; “words in Han characters”)).
The Hanja were introduced into the Korean peninsula under the Chinese dynasty Han (-202 - 220) via the Cheonjamun . Their use in Korea followed closely the progression of the Bouddhisme.
Although number of the words most frequently employed in Korean are of Korean origin, the words sino-Korean represent approximately half of the Korean vocabulary.
