Koreanization

Koreanization is a cultural and language shift whereby populations adopt Korean language or culture.

Assimilation of Peninsular Japonic speakers

Many linguists believe that Peninsular Japonic were formerly spoken in central and southern parts of the Korean peninsula.[1] Peninsular Japonic were used until Early Three Kingdoms period. After the ended of Three Kingdoms in 668, former place names which include trace of Japonic speaker were replaced by the standardized two-character Sino-Korean names assigned under King Gyeongdeok in the 8th century.[2]

Assimilation of Jurchen

Early Joseon kings pacified northern border and rewarded titles to Jurchens. Sejong the Great resettled Koreans from the southern Korea. Jurchens in Joseon were encouraged intermarriage with Koreans.[3]
