It has been theorized/hypothesized that the central and southern parts of the Korean peninsula used to be speaking either a Japonic language of more than one Japonic languages. Thus, the hypothesis that the origins of the Yayoi people being from the peninsula, particularly from the southwest (Baekje) is quite certain.
Last June, I wrote in the Wank Korea thread about the possibility of a surviving Japonic-speaking central and southern Korean peninsula. At first, I suggested a Gaya-wank; @zeppelinair then responded and suggested for a Baekje-wank, which I found it very plausible as well.
As the title of this thread suggested, what particular time period would we need for the said region to remain linguistically Japonic, aside from a strengthened Baekje? Would it change the course of East Asian history in general, or would it remain much as the same as OTL, albeit with some minor changes?
NOTE:
For the uninitiated, the central and southern regions of Korean peninsula begins in the regions south of Pyongyang and ends in the whole southern coast of Korea. Jeju is included in this scenario.
