Kyoraemal (겨레말 - The Kinship Language)

Kyoraemal is a constructed, purist Koreanic language developed for the fictional nation of 토박이 나라 (Tobagi Nara). Its fundamental design principle is the complete rejection of Confucian hierarchical influence and Sino-Korean (Hanja) loanwords, emphasizing native Korean roots, egalitarianism, and Shamanic spirituality.
