#yukjin language

I found this leed, a likely sway on Koryo-Mar. One thing's for sure, it's distinct & is almost only spoken among the elder lines/generations Jaegaseung people (whose heritage language is lost) & Jaejung dongpo (ethnic Koreans in my southern neighbour's country) plus about 1 in 10 of Koryo Saram (from ex-Soviet countries including from my northern & western neighbours & excluding Sakhalin Koreans, who instead speak from one based off a landspeech/dialect from southern parts [Jeolla & Gyeongsang] of South Korea despite writing by North Korean standard). Not quite the same thing as the Hamgyong landspeech, but it's closer to Korean than is Jejuan, even though neither are really mutually understandable with Korean landspeeches or especially the North or South standard leeds. Apparently, a wordbook (dictionary) bestands/exists between Korean & Yukjin, but do feel free to show us any such works on it that do.

Have you per chance ever come across the (R)Yukjin dialect (perhaps more accurately a language in its own right)?

No, I've never come across it either online or in-person.

I actually had to google it because I had never even hear about it.

May I ask (out of curiosity) what prompted this question?

Have you per chance heard of the [R]Yukjin dialect (maybe more accurately a language, mostly spoken by the Jaegaseung indigenous to northeastern Korea & maybe nearby lands) or the Jejuan dialect (same deal)?

I’m familiar with Jeju but Yukjin is a new one for me! Absolutely fascinated by how conservative/archaic their lexicon is, will definitely be looking more into that. Thanks for enlightening me, friend!

Here's a bit on a lesser known, but equally tumultuous fate of an often sidelined Native group in the peninsula.
