Trivia: Which language has no traceable origins to any other language?
Malay
Korean
Hungarian
Swedish
The correct answer is Korean
So why is this answer correct? : Korean is one of the world’s languages that has no traceable origins to any other language — a phenomenon known as a “language isolate.” And with about 78 million speakers worldwide, Korean is the most widely spoken language isolate. While some linguists believe that Korean originated from the Altaic languages of central Asia, the language’s past still remains a mystery.
