What are the top Korean speaking countries?

There's only one country where Korean is the official language: South Korea.

While Korean is spoken in North Korea as well, it's considered a different dialect with distinct differences in vocabulary and pronunciation.

However, if you're interested in countries with large Korean-speaking populations, here are some to consider:

* China: A significant number of ethnic Koreans live in China, primarily in the northeastern provinces.

* Japan: There's a substantial Korean community in Japan, many of whom speak Korean.

* United States: The US has a large Korean diaspora, particularly in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.

* Canada: Similar to the US, Canada also has a sizable Korean diaspora.

It's important to note that the term "Korean speaking" can be somewhat ambiguous. While the above-mentioned countries have large Korean populations, the prevalence of Korean spoken as a primary language may vary depending on the region and demographics.
