Abstract

Korean language is increasingly present in the Croatian press and everyday life through
the Korean brands, place names, personal names and common nouns. Being unprepared to
accept Korean words Croatian is tentatively adapting those terms relying on romanization
systems not best suited for its phonology, such as the McCune-Reischauer and revised
romanization systems. The situation is further complicated by the different standards used
in the two Koreas. In the future further influence of Korean can be expected which will
make the demand for an adaptation paradigm more pressing.
