The Jeju people or Jejuans (Jeju: 제주사름; Jeju RR: Jeju-sareum; Korean: 제주인; Hanja: 濟州人; RR: Jeju-in[1]), also known as Cheju people or Chejuan, are an ethnic group native to Jeju Island, which is geographically located in the East China Sea. Administratively, they live in Jeju Province, an autonomous self-governing province of South Korea.[2]
Jejuans speak the Jeju language, which is considered to be one of the two branches of the Koreanic language family, as it has no mutual intelligibility with Standard Korean or any other Korean dialects in the Korean Peninsula. Jejuans also have unique cultural traditions that are distinct from mainland Koreans.[3][4]
