Seoul - Yonhap
An Indonesian university is scheduled to open a Korean language center next month, giving traction to a movement to spread the language among a minority tribe there, officials here said Sunday. According to the Hunminjeongeum Society and Kyungpook National University, the Muhammadiyah University of Buton in Bau-Bau will set up Sejong School to teach the Korean language to local students. The language school is named after the ancient Korean King Sejong, who created Hangeul, the phonetic Korean alphabet.
