    I personally would not say similar, if we are talking about grammar. Korean is a subject-object-verb language, some verbs are conjugated, and the language uses honorifics (like Japanese). Chinese is a subject-verb-object language, verbs are not touched, and honorifics are minimal.

    Chinese, Vietnamese :
    Isolating language, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolating_language

    Korean, Japanese:
    Agglutinative language, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agglutinative_language
