Editing Korean language (section)

===Pronunciation===
In North Korea, [[Palatalization (sound change)|palatalization]] of {{IPA|/si/}} is optional, and {{IPA|/t͡ɕ/}} can be pronounced {{IPA|[z]}} between vowels.

Words that are written the same way may be pronounced differently (such as the examples below). The pronunciations below are given in [[Revised Romanization of Korean|Revised Romanization]], [[McCune–Reischauer]] and modified [[Hangul]] (what the Korean characters would be if one were to write the word as pronounced).

<nowiki>*</nowiki> In the North, similar pronunciation is used whenever the Hanja "{{lang|ko|的}}" is attached to a Sino-Korean word ending in {{lang|ko|ㄴ}}, {{lang|ko|ㅁ}} or {{lang|ko|ㅇ}}.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> In the South, this rule only applies when it is attached to any single-character Sino-Korean word.
