Do South Koreans and North Koreans speak the same language?

Best Answers

From their caricaturing in mainstream media, we have an idea of what North Koreans sound like: shrill, silly, using Soviet-era cod spy speak.

In general they do, grammar and Hangul is the same but I heard during the recent Olympics the North Korean and South korean ice hockey team had trouble understanding each other as the south Koreans used many American terms while North Koreans have their own terminology. read more

Best Answer: Yes they speak the same language, Korean, in both nations. The only noticeable differences are in dialect and also the use of foreign loanwords. In North Korea, they do not use any English loanwords whereas in the South they use words like "coffee", "email", etc. read more
