This study contends the issues that substantially hinder the comparative study for Korean genetic classification. To support the possibility of comparative study between Korean and Mongolian, this research provides plausible cognates and cognate morphemes of both languages. While recent comprehensive study of Altaic languages incorporates Korean and Mongolian, there has not been any meticulous study between the Korean and Mongolian wordstocks. Plausible cognates are introduced according to the criteria of the following six issues of questions about the Korean-Mongolian comparative study: (i) Do we have to apply the Indo-European historical linguistics methodology to Korean and Mongolian? (ii) Are the cognates found in every class of words? (iii) Are numerals necessarily basic words? (iv) Are case markers, endings, and conjunctions important parts of the morphemes in agglutinative languages? (v) Are some Chinese characters natively Korean?, and (vi) Can typological similarities be counted in?
