The names of each of the following kicks might be different at your school, and each instructor or Taekwondo organization might list different numbers of basic or advanced kicks, and teach them at different rank levels. The answer to this question will vary from school to school, therefore you should ask your instructor if they require a specific answer for test purposes.
In Korean terminology, the word for kick is "Chagi" 차기
Basic Kicks: The basic kicks use either the front leg (nearest the target), or the back leg (further from the target) in the case where stance prior to kicking is not parallel to the target. Front leg kicks may be performed stationary on the rear foot position, or by stepping the rear foot up near the front foot before kicking. In most applications, both front leg and back leg kicks may be modified to cover more distance by sliding the rear foot along the floor as you kick. It is part of the basic training of Taekwondo to learn the various foot positions, and optional striking tools (ball, instep, bottom of heel, back of heel, inner arch, or outer blade) for each kick, as well as the motions of chambering the kick, the path that the foot follows, and the muscles and joints that are involved in the mechanics of the kick.
1. Stomp Kick - 짓밟다 차기 - Jitpalpda Chagi ("Jee(t) - pal(p) - dah")
2. Front Kick - 앞차기 - Ap Chagi ("ahp - chah - gee")
3. Turning Kick - 돌려 차기 - Dolryeo Chagi ("dol - ree-yuh - chah - gee")
>(aka: "roundhouse kick" - turning refers to hips, not turning backwards)
>(note: the roundhouse kick has many variations, including a diagonal kick on an incline)
4. Downward Kick - 내려 차기 - Naeryeo Chagi ("nae - ree-yuh - chah - gee")
>(aka: "axe kick")
5. Crescent Kick 반달 차기 - Bandal Chagi ("bahn - dahl - chah - gee")
>(Inward Crescent Kick - 반달 안차기 - Bandal An Chagi ("ahn")
>(Outward Crescent Kick - 반달 바깥 차기 - Bandal Bakkat Chagi ("bah - kkaht")
6. Side Kick - 옆차기 - Yeop Chagi ("yuhp - chah - gee")
7. Hook Kick - 후려 차기 Huryeo Chagi ("hoo - ree-yuh - chah - gee")
8. Back Kick - 뒷차기 - Dwit Chagi ("dwee(t) - Chah - gee")
>(aka: mule kick)
9. Twist Kick - 비틀로 차기 - Biteulro Chagi ("Bee - teul - ro - chah - gee")
Advanced applications:
Skipping Kicks
Spinning or backwards turning Kicks
Jumping Kicks
Jump-Spin Kicks
Flying Kicks
Note: Some of the basic kicks are not typically used with every advanced application. For example, the front kick is not typically applied as a spinning kick. Also, the kick known as a "wheel" or "spin heel" kick uses a locked knee to complete a 360 degree circular whipping motion that is only able to be done as a spin kick, and not a basic movement.

Which aspects of Tae Kwon Do are distinctly Korean and different from karate?
I believe that because the Koreans are taller than most Japanese, taekwondo was based around kicks as it was easier and kicks have more power than punches. Karate, like-wise, is based on punches because it was harder for most Japanese to kick at the height of a Korean's head. That being said.. taekwondo still has plenty of strikes and blocks as karate has many kicks
How does Tae Kwon Do compare to hipkido?
Taekwondo and Hapkido are both martial arts from Korea.Taekwondo is famed for its kicks. But taekwondo practitioners also learn punches and other strikes.Hapkido is classified as a grappling art. In Hapkido martial artists use locks and throws to defend themselves.Taekwondo and Hapkido complement each other well. Taekwondo is useful for self defense if an attacker is at a distance from you. And Hapkido is better if the attacker is closer.By learning both you can defend yourself well.

Where is Tae Kwon Do mainly?
Taekwondo really is practiced all around the world, but its a Korean martial art. Taekwondo is also (last time I checked) the most popular martial art in the United States. People hate on it a lot because Taekwondo has become very "sporty art instead of a traditional art." Yes, it was put into the olympics, and yes the sparring they use doesn't score punches all that often which is a large part of fighting, but getting kicked by a TKD practioner who knows what he is doing hurts. From personal experience, it can hurt a lot haha Hope that helped!
