Korean language in China

The Chinese Korean language (Korean: 중국조선어; Hancha: 中國朝鮮語; RR: Jungguk Joseoneo, lit. 'China Joseon language') is the variety of the Korean language spoken by ethnic Koreans in China, primarily located in the northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, the latter two of which share borders with North Korea.

All varieties of Korean except the Jeju language are spoken by members of the Korean diaspora who settled in China before 1949. The educational standard is the North Korean standard language. Chinese Korean vocabulary is very similar to the North Korean standard, as is orthography; a major exception of orthography is that the spelling of some Chinese cities is different (for example, Hong Kong is referred to by the Sino-Korean name of 香港, 향항, Hyanghang, rather than the North and South Korean transcription of English Hongk'ong, 홍콩); exceptions of vocabulary are all related to China.
