This is a weird and nice find for me. I'm going on a tad tangent and a bit of a story. I'm from an international border state in India. I grew up studying a part of our local language[1] written in an Indian-specific script[2], but now it has reverted to the original script that has existed since 500-600AD. Surprisingly, when I visited my hometown about 10 years after I left, the first thing I noticed was that the young people could speak and converse in Korean!
Right now, reading from the comic tutorial, I can understand why -- they have similar ideas. I never learned our local script properly; perhaps, now, I can read both and try to learn. I have heard people say that our local script is super easy to learn, and almost everyone, old and young, knows it. Perhaps these similarities help the people from that region to easily tune in to Korean media and speak and understand the language.
