No, the language is simply Japanese. It was heavily influenced by the Chinese and the words are written the same way, but often pronounced differently depending on whether you are on Okinawa, Japan or China.

Most karate schools use Japanese for the basic terms and counting. However, if it is a Korean based karate, they will use the Korean terms. While they use different languages, the techniques are going to be pretty similar.
