A name in Korean.

Note that this tag is useful when object has names specified in more than one language:

  • If name=* is in Korean then it specifies which language is used in main name tag
  • If name=* is in a different language then it specifies name in Korean

Subkeys

North and South Korea may use different words or use different notations. Use the local language as the default('name:ko=*'), but use it to identify words or notations from other regions if they are different. (E.g. 'name:en=elementary school' / 'name:en=Ryugyong Hotel')

  • name:ko-KR=* : E.g. 'name:ko-KR=초등학교' / 'name:ko-KR=유경호텔'
  • name:ko-KP=* : E.g. 'name:ko-KP=인민학교' / 'name:ko-KP=류경호텔'
