Language: Koreans invented... Ghetto?!

OK, here's my hypothesis on what the REAL origins of Ghetto talk is from.

IT EVOLVED FROM KOREAN!

Having said that, here is my point: Korean language, Hangeul (한글) in its form today, was 'invented' and completed in 1444. The existence of the Korean language is therefore older, and definitely more developed that the Ghetto language we have today, topping at most a century in history. If there was ever a shadow of doubt about the chicken or the egg... Korean definitely came about first.

Some of the Korean sentence structure and sounds are unmistakenly similar to that of Ghetto. Or rather, Ghetto is undeniably similar to Korean. Two prominent examples of Ghetto talk being similar to Korean are:

• "Word"
  Used either as a confirming question, OR used in statements of affirmation.
  Example:
  Person A: "I don't dig that s*** no more man..."
  Person B: "Word?"
  Person A: "Word."
  

  Korean equivalent: 정말 (Jeong-mal)
  Literal meaning ~ Real word.
  Example:
  Person A: "I make many many money last year"
  Person B: "정말 (Word)?"
  Person A: "정말 (Word)!"

• Peace out yo
  A well-wishing statement.
  Example:
  Person A: "Gotta cruise man..."
  Person B: "Alright, peace out yo"
  

  Korean equivalent: 안녕하세요 (Annyeong Hase YO)
  Literal meaning ~ You have peace.
  Example:
  Person A: "Oh hello!"
  Person B: "안녕(Peace)하세요 (Yo)"

Just look at the similarities and sounds. Proves my point, no doubt.

Brilliant unraveling of Ghetto roots, if I do say so myself. I should be nominated for a prize in linguistics or anthropology for this finding!

Erm... Yeah right! If you've been reading this with a pinch of salt and taken in with good humor, I applaud you. For the rest of you... Please la. :P
