The Chinese Korean language (Korean: 중국조선말; Hancha: 中國朝鮮말; RR: Jungguk Joseonmal, lit. 'China Joseon language') is the variety of the Korean language spoken by Koreans in China who have Chinese nationality, primarily located in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning.
All varieties of Korean except the Jeju language are spoken by members of the Korean diaspora who settled in China before 1949. The educational standard is the North Korean standard language.
Chinese Korean vocabulary is very similar to the North Korean standard, as is orthography; a major exception of orthography is that the spelling of some Chinese cities is different (for example, Hong Kong is referred to by the Sino-Korean name of 香港, 향항, Hyanghang, rather than the North and South Korean transcription of English Hongk'ong, 홍콩); exceptions of vocabulary are all related to China.
