Thank you for making this video . When I was watching “ crush landing on you” back in 2019, I was constantly wondering what the differences between the Language in these two countries.
sameeee they kept mentioning how different the accents were but i couldnt tell. Only thing i noticed is that north koreans talked deeper and didnt drag out their words as much but idk
Or mexican spanish and European spain spanish Or or brazilian portugues and european portugal Portuguese Or even Mandarin chinese, tawainese mandarin and Hong kong cantonese Or or or Tagalog and Visayan filipino
Besides "comrade", dongmu also just means "friend". Infact it was the normal word for "friend" in all of Korea, but it became politically incorrect in the South because of its association with communism. The same way, "agassi" is not used in North Korea anymore and has a negative ideological connotation, being associated with feudalism.
In another words, if north and south Koreans met for cup of coffee, they can talk to each other. It isn't like a German and a Japanese getting together for a coffee.
@@choipichiim yeah that’s how I thought of it. you would be surprised. the United States is so big that the accent changes A LOT depending where you are. Some Americans have trouble understanding other Americans because of the different accents.
the korean language diverged because of the american and soviet influence on their language, the korean language in south korea is heavily influenced by american english as it adopted many english words from the american english variant when south korea fell under the US occupation and made it as one of american satellite states along with japan, US invaded the southern part of the korean peninsula not because they want to rescue koreans, but because it was a japanese colony at that time during the 1940s and japan was with war at USA when they attacked the pearl harbor of USA in hawaii in 1941, USA set up bases in the southern part of the korean peninsula when they knew that the soviets we're also expanding to the eastern eurasia, US feared that the communism might spread in the korean peninsula, USA established the southern part of the korean peninsula as their satellite state to block the soviet influence there which would later became the modern day south korea since they have already transformed the northern part of the korean peninsula to be a communist state, the korean language spoken in north korea had been heavily influenced by the russian language and adopted many russian language loanwords, it happened when the northern part of the korean peninsula was annexed by the soviet union as part of their manchurian invasion conquest when soviets we're fighting against the japanese during ww2, but soviets recognize the northern part of the korean peninsula as "southern manchuria" rather than being called as northern part of the korean peninsula.
"Originally, the two Koreas spoke the same language. But after the 70 years of political, social, and economic division, there were some changes in words and writing systems." So in other words, the two Koreas speak the same language, Korean. North Korean and South Korean are as different as American English is to British English. The main differences between the North Korean dialect (문화어, "Cultural Language") and the South Korean dialect (표준어, "Standard Language") are only vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation. In North Korea, the Korean language is referred to as 조선말 (Choson-mal) and the Korean alphabet is referred to as 조선글 (Choson-gul). In South Korea, the Korean language is referred to as 한국어 (Hangugeo) and the Korean alphabet is referred to as 한글 (Hangeul/Hangul). Of course, there are regional dialects that exist outside of the standard dialects. But, here are some differences. The North Korean dialect contains far less foreign loanwords and Sino-Korean vocabulary (한자어), because they were switched out in favor or native Korean vocabulary (순조선말, "Pure Korean"), and what ever loanwords do exist in the North Korean dialect are borrowed from Russian and Japanese (Sino-Japanese vocabulary read as Korean Hanja). Here are some examples... English: Juice North Korean: 단물 (Tamul, "Sweet water") or 果實단물/과일단밀 (Kwa'il-tanmul, "Sweet fruit water") South Korean: 주스 (Juseu; "Juice" spelled in Hangul) English: Ice cream North Korean: 엍음菓子/얼음과자 (Orumgwaja) or 얼음보숭이 (Orumbosungi) South Korean: 아이스크림 (Aiseukeurim, "Ice cream" spelled in Hangul) English: Instant noodles/Ramen/Ramyun Chinese: 拉面/拉麵 (Lamian) Japanese: 拉麺 (ramen) South Korean: 拉麵/라면 (Ramyeon/Ramyun) North Korean: 꼬부랑국수 (Kkoburangguksu) English: Traditional Korean clothes North Korean: 朝鮮옷/조선옷 (Choson-ot) South Korean: 韓服/한복 (Hanbok) There's also different names for certain letters. Think of how Americans pronounce the letter Zz as zee, while other English-speaking countries pronounce it zed. North Korean: ㄱ (기윽 Gieuk) South Korean: ㄱ (기역 Giyeok) North Korean: ㅋ (키윽 Kieuk) South Korean: ㅋ (키역 Kiyeok) North Korean: ㅅ (시읏 Sieut) South Korean: ㅅ (시옷 Siot) North Korean: ㄷ (디읃 Dieut) South Korean: ㄷ (디귿 Digeut) North Korean: ㄲ (된기윽 Doen-gieuk) South Korean: 쌍기역 (Ssang-giyeok) North Korean: ㅆ (된시읏 Doen-sieut) South Korean: ㅆ (쌍시옷 Ssang-siot) North Korean: ㄸ (된디읃 Doen-dieut) South Korean: ㄸ (쌍디귿 Ssang-digeut) North Korean: ㅃ (된비읍 Doen-bieup) South Korean: ㅃ (쌍비읍 Ssang-bieup) North Korean: ㅉ (된지읒 Doen-jieut) South Korean: ㅉ (쌍지읒 Ssang-jieut) Another major difference would also be in how Hanja are read. North Koreans still read Hanja like how they were read during the Joseon period, which is why some Korean surnames like 李 are read as 이 (Lee/Yi) in South Korea and as 리 (Ri/Rhee) in North Korea. The same would apply to certain words. For example, the noodle dish originating from Hamhung (a city in North Korea) being called 랭면 (冷面; Raengmyon) in North Korea and 냉면 (冷面; Naengmyeon/Naengmyun) in South Korea. The same also applies to names, for example, the North Korean news anchor Ri Chun-hee. Her name is spelled 리춘히 (李春溪; Ri Chun-hi) in North Korea, while it's spelled 이춘희 (李春溪; Yi Chun-hui) in South Korea.
Good info.! If I could make a suggestion... I'd lower the background music volume a little more so that your words come through clearer. Other than that... 👍👍
Even they pronounce the name of Korea as different, such as north koreans pronounce korea as choson/joseon and south koreans use the term hanguk. Whilst the north koreans calls their south neighbors namjoseon or namchoson, similarly south uses the term bukhan to define north koreans
I have a question, which Korean dialect between north and south has changed after the war, i mean how did it sounded like before the war? Btw super video 📸
South Korea has accepted countless English words in our language but North korea has not at all. In fact, many N.Korean defectors claim it is the most difficult part of their communication in SK.
Probably north korea. They have been isolated for so long that the language has probably hardly changed, whereas south korea has accepted many english words as official korean words
All languages have loan words, though. Japan and China have plenty, both from English and other Asian languages. English also has loanwords from French, Spanish, German, etc. It's very, very difficult for languages to be truly pure unless they are as closed off from society like North Korea or Native Tribes. And in those case, the loanword usually only exists as it's easier.
@@GuranPurin not the same dude we have Words that come from arabian, latin, greek, french just to illustrate but i have heard japanese and korean and have a thousand and also slangs that come from English and it's supposed that at least antique Korean was pure and had their own words...instance BANANA, PINKyuseg, smartphone, apple not sagwa, ice cream etc...Chinese has their own ways to name things so I'm not saying that korean is bad or not important language but I thought it was loyal to its roots
Hmm. . For vocabulary, yeah you may say NK has kept the orthodox korean language... but their accent sounds like tough strong Chinese . SK has a lot softer accent :)
Just because something is Americanized doesn't necessarily make a language purer, languages throughout history have borrowed words from one another, primary through trade.
@@riiraa881 tbf a lot of English words were from German and French, and dating back they all had influences from Latin and Gaulish, which have further ancestries...as long as the word is widely spoken in the nation it probably can be seen as a part of its "pure" language, time only makes it the traditional usage
@@choconoodles434 Modern English derives 60% of its vocabulary from Latin or French words. It itself is not a "pure" language. There is a "purer" (not pure) form of Modern English. It's called Anglish and you find it on the Internet. It is sometimes understandable and at times incomprehensible because it uses original English words before the great Inkhorn controversy.
One difference i heard specially if its official talk between south and north North using weird ending like "mida" sound South does not use it and that is strange Specially if u listen north korean propaganda tv etc etc
it's because of occupation of the South by Japan and America. South Korean dialects sound so much more like Japanese, the way it's all pronounced is much more like Japanese.
They are the same language, they’re just dialects. It’s basically like British English and American English. North Koreans and South Koreans are both ethnically Korean and share the same language and culture.

Deeply thinking about it is saddening that the two Koreans need to be divided like this ay the evolved into two different direction. I hope someday they unify. (this is just my own opinion)
It's amazing! Every 5cking time, when I looking for something about NORTH!!!!! Korea language, immediately some idiots start comparing North and South Korea. It is like, if I interesting about English language, some idiots start speak about Spanish language and COMPARE them! Am sure, that in North Korea not compare and speak about South Korea language, in schools, for example. Therefore I found that NORTH!!! Korea language is secret language and everybody afraid to speak about it and change the subject. For prove, you can find a dozens of videos in TH-cam, where refugees from North Korea say same things. When they come to South Korea, they must start learning two things again: A culture and L A N G U A G E!!!!!!!!
I'm not too sure what you're trying to say, fix your spelling and grammar. Also, this video gives me the impression that North Korean and South Korean Korean are not so different from each other, not like Spanish and English. The woman in the video literally said that North Koreans and South Koreans could communicate! Why are you angry?
I am grately annoyed when asians say romanization and actually anglisize it. There is a grate deal of difference between english and latin. I for one was unable to read how you had written korean in something resembling english alphabet.
Wouldn’t really call it anglicized. The Korean language has its own unique sounds so regardless of how it’s written in Latin script it’s probably not going to be pronounceable in a latin language or English for that matter.
@@amandaa7708 Im more familiar with japanese, and they will, for example, take the world さゆき write it as Sayuki and claim to have romanized, when in reality they have anglisized it, in roman it would be written Sajuki.

Basically accent and some vocabulary. But it is the same language so we can communicate without big problem

same thing brought me here hahahaha
North Korean and South Korean are as different as British English and American English.
Exactly. We can ultimately communicate each other but accents and some words are different
Or mexican spanish and European spain spanish
