Japanese - Korean

==Language Differences==
It should be noted that while Korean technically contains the majority of Japanese phonemes, that isn't necessarily true vice-versa. While the two languages are similar phonetically, differences in encoding make it difficult to transcribe between the two languages. Allophones present in Japanese are encoded as separate consonants, while in Korean they are encoded under one single consonant. For example, か [k a] and きゃ [k' a] in Japanese are coded using two separate consonant sounds yet 까 [g' a] and 꺄 [g' ja] in Korean are phonetically the same, but are coded differently and use the same consonant.
Korean can be used to recreate 100% of the Japanese language while Japanese can only recreate a portion of the Korean language. This is due to the presence of 4 aspirated consonants, multiple ending consonants, and 2 individual vowels in Korean that aren't present in Japanese. It should also be noted that proper Korean contains labialized consonants that also aren't present in standard Japanese.
