Buyeo or Fuyu languages (Buyeo or Puyŏ (부여어족) in Korean, Fūyú or Fúyú (夫餘 or 扶餘) in Chinese) are a hypothetical language family that consists of ancient languages of the northern Korean Peninsula and southern Manchuria.

The Buyeo languages itself is unknown except for a small number of words which suggest that it was somewhat different from the language of Silla, which likely consisted of an earlier wave of migration from the same northern region, and significantly different from the Mohe and Tungusic languages. The Tungusic languages (also known as Manchu-Tungus Tungus are spoken in Eastern Siberia and Manchuria.

Classification of the Buyeo languages

There are some hypotheses on the classification of the Buyeo languages which is disputed at the present time.

There have been some attempts to relate certain ancient languages of specifically the Goguryeo language, and the language of Baekje as well) with the Japonic languages (Beckwith 2004); according to this scenario, the ancestors of the Yamato people would have settled Japan from the region of the state of Buyeo, which was ancestral to Goguryeo.

Baekje subsequently had close relations with Yamato period Japan; Christopher Beckwith suggests that at that point the Japanese may have still recognized a relationship to Buyeo. This is summary of two more detailed articles Kofun period and Asuka period. Christopher I Beckwith (born 1945 is a professor of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University in Bloomington Indiana. The possibility of a relationship between the Japanese language and languages of Goguryeo and Baekje was first noticed by two Japanese scholars in 1907. is a language spoken by over 130 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities Beckwith reconstructs about 140 Goguryeo words, mostly from ancient place names. Many include grammatical morphemes which appear to be cognate with morphemes of similar function in Japanese, such as genitive -no and attributive -si.

Buyeo languages (Goguryeo)

There are a number of linguists including a renowned Korean linguist, Kim Bang-han and western linguists like Vovin and Unger who categorize the Buyeo languages into Old Korean.

Toponymy refers to the scientific study of place-names ( toponyms) their origins meanings use and Typology. In Contact linguistics, a substratum ( lat sub: under + stratum: layer → lower layer) is a Language Physical geography See also Geography of North Korea, Geography of South Korea Mountains cover 70 percent of the Korean Peninsula and arable plains are Since it has been shown that a considerable number of Japanese-like toponymes (such as a Japanese-like numeral found in the historical homeland of Silla) were also distributed in southern part of Korean peninsula, the linguists propose that there was once a Japonic language spoken on the prehistoric Korean peninsula as the substratum language of Old Korean; Unger suggests that the ancestors of the Yayoi people would have settled Japanese Archipelago from the central and southern part of Korean peninsula. The is an era in the history of Japan from about 500 BC to 300 AD. The, which forms the Country of Japan, extends roughly from northeast to southwest along the northeastern coast of the Eurasia mainland washing upon the northwestern The basis of this argument supporting Old Korean hypothesis is as follows: None of the Japanese-like toponymes have been found in the northern part of Korean peninsula and south-western part of Manchuria where the historical homeland of Buyeo and Goguryeo were situated. On the contrary, the Koreanic toponymes were evenly distributed all around the territory of the Three Kingdoms of Korea from Manchuria to the Korean peninsula. The Three Kingdoms of Korea ( refer to the ancient Korean kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, which dominated the Korean peninsula The Goguryeo inscriptions include Grammatical morphemes, supporting the argument, which appear to be cognate with morphemes of similar function in Korean, such as a form of final predication -ti and nominative -i”.
