Draft:Tamna language

Tamna (탐라어) was a language spoken in Jeju Island, South Korea.

Classification
Since the language is unattested, many scholars in Korea assume that the language spoken was a Koreanic language or a variation of Old Korean

However, Alexander Vovin has identified Japonic placenames in the region, and compared the name 'Tamna' with Japonic tani mura 'valley settlement' or tami mura 'people's settlement'. He also believed Tamna was closely related to the Old Japanese dialects.
