The Silla language was spoken in the ancient kingdom of Silla (57 BC - AD 935), one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. It is based on the dialect of Gyeongju, and had been developed as the Silla language. It is generally accepted that Silla language was similar with that of Baekje and Goguryeo.^[1] This implies that the languages of the Three Kingdoms of Korea had been derived from the same language family, which may be referred to as a Buyeo language family or Gojoseon language family. Literary records for the research of Silla language, such as Hyangga, currently remain more numerous than those for the languages of Goguryeo and Baekje.
