I read the title like “What is Chinese called in you language” and got confused by people’s answers.

“Ost”

Nice to meet you, too. Thanks to 세종대왕 (Sejong Dae Wang, King Sejong) for creating a Hangeul, a stronger phonetic system. I look forward to its use for a long time to come.

Is that a Chinese form of the English word. Cheese? Or is it Japanese?

The text is Korean, so neither.

Japanese has cute curvy symbols interleaved with some BIG scary symbols.

IIRC, the food, therefore the word, was introduced to Korea. It is a transliteration. Like "tae-kwon-do" is a transliteration from the Korean 태권도 (taegwondo).

Note: Korean is not my first language. It is first non-English script I've managed to learn to read and write and makes me happy every time I interact with it.

My read/spoken Korean is atrocious and barely functions.

Кашкавал (kashkaval)

It’s funny how everyone answers the question, yet you still don’t know which language it is
