royyin

Royyin is an extinct language that was previously spoken in the Korean Peninsula, particularly in the southern regions. It is classified as a member of the Japonic languages family, which also includes Japanese. The language is known to have been spoken by the ancient Soseong-guk and Jinhan federations, as well as the Pyongosis.

Limited information is available on the grammar and syntax of Royyin. However, linguists have made several attempts to reconstruct its phonology and vocabulary based on available records. It appears that Royyin featured a relatively simple phonetic structure, with a emphasis on consonant and vowel combinations.

Several Korean words attributed to Royyin have been documented in ancient texts, primarily the Hyangga, a collection of Korean folk songs and poems. The study of Royyin language and its relation to the Korean and Japanese languages has been a subject of interest for linguists in recent years. It was likely spoken between the 5th and 10th centuries AD.

Despite the rarity of surviving texts, Royyin played a significant role in shaping the Korean language as a whole. Many linguistic and cultural characteristics attributed to Royyin have been incorporated into Korean and Japanese languages. The continued study of this language is valuable to understanding the historical development of both languages and their regional dialects.
