1945 August 15 After successfully defeating Japanese imperialism and winning the retrocession, the people of the Korean Peninsula split into the north and south of the peninsula, namely the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea. In order to de-China and meet the needs of nationalism, the North and the South respectively reformed the use of characters after the establishment of political power.

As mentioned earlier, Chinese characters have a far-reaching influence on the Korean peninsula, so even after the invention of "training people to correct pronunciation", Chinese characters are still in use. Chinese characters (similar to Japanese) are recorded in the court documents and historical books of the Korean dynasty.

In this regard, North Korea has taken a reform measure to completely abolish Chinese characters, that is, all written characters are written in Korean letters, and Chinese characters are no longer mixed. In terms of vocabulary, North Korea also strictly restricts the use of Chinese vocabulary and creates new words with Korean vocabulary as much as possible.

South Korea promulgated the Korean Special Law in 1948, which prohibited the public use of Chinese characters. The policy of using Chinese characters in Korean textbooks is also to abolish Chinese characters. For example, the presidential decree of 1968 requires primary and secondary school textbooks to delete Chinese characters, and 1995 is changed into an elective course.

At present, Chinese characters are no longer taught in primary schools in South Korea, and Chinese characters can't be seen in the streets of South Korea. Under the trend of nationalism, the Korean direct government still forbids the use of Chinese characters, and only regards them as signposts to facilitate China people's travel and entry.

The abolition of Chinese characters in South Korea and North Korea was changed under the trend of nationalism. Korean people think that Chinese characters are difficult to write and remember, which is not conducive to eliminating illiteracy. Moreover, the Korean nation should leave the suzerain country and use its own national language, so as to carry forward Korean culture, and the writing of Korean proverbs is simple and time-saving, which is conducive to national writing and communication.

Korean: The official languages of North Korea and South Korea, two countries with Koreans as the main ethnic groups, are sticky languages, and the Korean language family is generally classified as an isolated language. Vowel harmony is becoming more and more relaxed, which is a residual phenomenon. In consonants, affricates and affricates are divided into three sets according to the tightness and airflow properties, and affricates have two sets of tightness.

The basic word order of a sentence is subject-complement-predicate. Vocabulary has three parts: fixed words, Chinese characters and loanwords.
