Silla (; Old Korean: 徐羅伐, Yale: Syerapel, RR: Seorabeol; IPA: ) was a Korean kingdom that existed between 57 BCE and 935 CE and was located on the southern and central parts of the Korean peninsula. Silla, along with Baekje and Goguryeo, formed the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Silla had the lowest population of the three, approximately 850,000 people (170,000 households), significantly smaller than those of Baekje (3,800,000 people) and Goguryeo (3,500,000 people).

AI overview

Silla was a Korean kingdom that lasted nearly a thousand years (from 57 BCE to 935 CE) in the southern and central regions of the Korean peninsula, and it was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea alongside Baekje and Goguryeo. Although it was the smallest of the three kingdoms in terms of population, with roughly 850,000 people compared to several million in each of the other two, it played a significant role in Korean history during this period.

Its foundation can be traced back to the semi-mythological figure of Hyeokgeose of Silla (Old Korean: *pulkunae ), of the Park clan. The country was first ruled intermittently by the Miryang Park clan for 232 years and the Wolseong Seok clan for 172 years and beginning with the reign of Michu Isageum the Gyeongju Kim clan for 586 years. Park, Seok and Kim have no contemporary attestations and went by the Old Korean names of 居西干 Geoseogan (1st century BCE), 次次雄 Chachaung (1st century CE), 泥師今 Isageum (Old Korean: *nisokum) and 麻立干 Maripkan (5th–6th century) instead.
