9. Gogureyo Language

Extinct: 8th Century

At number 9 on our list of extinct languages in India and Asia we have Gogureyo language that was spoken on the territory of today’s Korea, and it was actually the main language spoken by the Gogureyo Empire, which was one of the famous Three Empires of Korea. It belongs to the family of Buyeo languages and it was similar to many other languages that were spoken at the time. Though the empire remained in force somewhat until the 7th century, this language remained spoken one century after that. It was only used by the people who remained alive from the final crash of the kingdom, but the death of the last speaker meant the complete extinct of the language as well.
