This caught my attention at Wikipedia today. It's a government bulletin written in mixed Japanese-Korean.
Basically, it uses a word order (presumably) compatible with both languages, and shares the kanji between both
languages while writing the okurigana and particles in parallel columns of katakana and hangul in between kanji.

Edit: I'm posting a raw link here since posting images seems to be broken.

In my Classical Japanese class, we use a text similar to this. The story is written with only Chinese characters, and there are symbols on the side to indicate the order they should be read as the Japanese and Chinese sentence structure is quite different. It is quite possible this text is simply taking it to the next level, allowing this text to be comprehensible to speakers of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, although it is essentially written in Chinese. This is of course, an educated guess so perhaps somebody could confirm this?

No, this is just a parallel text of Japanese and hanja-Korean where the (traditional) kanji/hanja are merged. It might be that the kanji/hanja are more kanji than hanja though - I don'T know enough hanja to tell. Any guesses from the students of hanja out there?

Could our Korean speakers give your impression of natural this Korean sounds? I guess it might sound like something of an automated translation service (before Google).
