The language of North Korea is called Korean (called "cultural language" by the Labor Party), and the language of South Korea is called Korean based on Pyongyang dialect (called "standard language"). Historically, Seoul was the capital of North Korea, and Seoul dialect (Gyeonggi-do dialect) was the standard language of North Korea from the beginning. After the division of Korea and North Korea, Pyongyang dialect was defined as the standard dialect by North Korea. South Korea and North Korea are both Koreans. The two white lines on the North Korean national flag indicate that their country is a mono-ethnic country 1. There is basically no difference in the pronunciation of single letters, mainly the vowel ","is pronounced more closely in Korea and more closely in North Korea. There are obvious differences in intonation between the north and the south. Generally speaking, Korean intonation is relatively high and soft. North Korea's is lower and harder. In alphabetical order, South Korea ranks last and North Korea ranks in the middle. There is a "head tone rule" in Korean, that is, North Korea's "(female) and XX (Li XX)" are South Korea's ",XX". 2. Vocabulary Due to political and economic reasons, Korean has absorbed many English loanwords, such as "(wife), (knife)", and Korean has absorbed many Chinese words.
