General names
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Species list may not be current. Korean glosses are only tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
Larks in Japanese are known as ヒバリ , written with the Chinese characters 雲雀 'cloud sparrow' (from the Chinese name). This is the usual name in popular usage.
Much less well known is the borrowed term コウテンシ meaning 'tell heaven', written 告天子 in Chinese characters. In technical usage, コウテンシ is confined to Melanocorypha and one species of Calandrella.
Cultural:
In haiku, the 雲雀 hibari is a season word for spring.
