Introduction to Korean: Korean is the language used in North Korea, South Korea, Northeast China, Russian Far East, Japan and other areas where Koreans live in concentrated communities. The Korean dynasty didn't have its own writing until the Sejong period. They regard China's Chinese characters as their own national characters. King Sejong believed that having his own national script would have a great influence on the future development of the Korean dynasty and even future generations, so he created a simple and easy-to-learn script.
Korean vocabulary can be divided into proprietary words, Chinese characters and foreign words. Seoul dialect and Pingrang dialect used to be two dialects of the same language. However, due to the interruption of communication between Korea and North Korea and the difference of political systems between the two countries, a large number of new words in modern Seoul dialect, especially western-style loanwords dominated by the United States, do not exist in modern Pyongyang dialect or are written differently.
Apart from neologisms, there are only phonological differences between Seoul dialect and Pingrang dialect, so there is no serious obstacle to the communication between the two sides, and they can understand and reasonably express the meaning of words. Real grammar, idioms, etc. , mostly based on Seoul standard pronunciation. ?
According to a questionnaire survey conducted by Korean officials in 20 14, more than 40% of the respondents said that they had communication difficulties because they did not understand foreign words. In fact, at present, about 34% of the daily expressions used by North Korea and South Korea are different, and 64% of the expressions such as special vocabulary are different. Therefore, North Korea and Bill Han eliminated the increasingly serious language barrier, and in 2005, they began to compile a unified Putonghua dictionary called "A Dictionary of National Languages".
