The vigorous but short‐lived military conquests of the Genghis Khan and the Mongol in the 13th
century brought the Mongols well into half of the world and also Goryeo was invaded for seven
times. In 1271, Jeju became the base of the Sambyeolcho Rebellion against the Mongol
Empire. After Sambyeolcho was defeated in 1273, Jeju was placed under the Mongols’ direct rule,
and it became the Goryeo territory back again in 1367. The Mongols, who ruled Korea for 100
years, brought horse breeding to Jejudo, which has become a major vocation for and has existed
since 1423 with all its traditions, culture, and language still intact, including shamanistic sorcery
A very different dialect of Korean is spoken in Jeju‐do even today as a direct result of the
Mongols' influence. Jejudo dialect is said to be the most difficult to understand and sounds like a
totally different language. They said the language is Korean but has influenced from Mongolian.
Professor Yong‐bong Kang insisted that Jeju dialect differs greatly from dialects of the Korean
penninsula and preserves many archaic words, which are lost in them.
