Information

• From Wikipedia: The highest six levels are generally grouped together as jondaenmal (존댓말), while the lowest level (haeche, 해체) is called banmal (반말) in Korean.
• Need to page through Using Korean and find the speech forms.
• Need to document examples of all these.
• Need to distinguish levels in examples used throughout grammar pages on this wiki. Need appropriate linking.
• Need to compose tree structure of speech levels:
  • For example, 존댓말 supposedly contains 6 levels within it. What are these levels?
• (to be extended)
