| Korean language
| The Japanese pronunciation of 조선말 was used throughout Korea and Manchuria during Japanese imperial rule, but after liberation, the government in the South chose the name 대한민국 (''daehanminguk'') which was derived from the name immediately prior to Japanese imperial rule, and claimed by government-in-exile from 1919. The syllable 한 (''han'') was drawn from the same source as that name (in reference to the Han people). [[Names of Korea#20th century|Read more]].

{{lang|ko-KP|조선어}} (''joseoneo/chosŏnŏ'') is officially used in the North.

| {{lang|ko-KP|동무}}
| dongmu (tongmu)
| {{lang|ko-KR|친구}}
| chingu (ch'in'gu)
| Friend
| {{lang|ko|동무}} was originally a non-ideological word for "friend" used all over the Korean peninsula, but North Koreans later adopted it as the equivalent of the Communist term of address "[[comrade]]". As a result, to South Koreans today the word has a heavy political tinge, and so they have shifted to using other words for friend like ''chingu'' ({{lang|ko|친구}}) or ''beot'' ({{lang|ko|벗}}). Today, ''beot'' ({{lang|ko|벗}}) is closer to a term used in literature, and ''chingu'' ({{lang|ko|친구}}) is the widest-used word for friend. 
Such changes were made after the Korean War and the ideological battle between the anti-Communist government in the South and North Korea's communism.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/30/world/asia/30iht-dialect.2644361.html |first=Sang-hun |last=Choe |author-link=Choe Sang-hun |title=Koreas: Divided by a common language |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=2006-08-30 |access-date=2012-08-16 |archive-date=2 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170302145757/http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/30/world/asia/30iht-dialect.2644361.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2881801|title=Beliefs that bind |work=[[Korea JoongAng Daily]]|date=2007-10-23|access-date=2012-08-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130501094647/http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2881801|archive-date=2013-05-01 |url-status=usurped}}</ref>
