보크말 is a term used to describe a specific dialect of the Korean language, primarily spoken in the Jeju Island region of South Korea. This dialect has unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar that distinguish it from standard Korean. The Jeju dialect reflects the island's rich cultural heritage and history. It has been influenced by various factors, including the island's geographical isolation and its interactions with different cultures over time. Efforts are being made to preserve 보크말 as it faces challenges from the increasing use of standard Korean in education and media.
