| Han'gŭl alphabet |
The launching of the Han'gŭl alphabet in 1446 is commemorated in Korea as the “Korean Alphabet Day”—until recently a national public holiday.
1940: Nazi representative Rudolf Schlichting writes home to Germany from occupied France, suggesting that the allegedly positive Breton attitude vis-à-vis Germans could be exploited in the eradication of their language. “In one generation, Brittany will be a predominately German country”, Schlichting notes not without satisfaction.
1947: Publication of the first volume of the monumental Joseon Language Big Dictionary, the first large dictionary of Korean.
