The North Korea’s leader encouraged its citizen not to use any other languages, and
use Munhwaŏ (the standard language of North Korea) instead, to stop the usage of
foreign language and Chinese characters. That’s why Kim Jong-un said in a speech "if
your language in life is cultural and polite, you can achieve harmony and comradely unity
among people.
II. North Korea’s goal is to have a unity and preserve their language.
North Korea’s language education policy has been strongly controlled by the
government. In fact, every language policy has been regulated, enacted, and proclaimed
by its supreme leaders, Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. The North Korea’s view on
language is formed within the framework of Marxism-Leninism and materialism, which
sees language as a tool, and resulted in founding their own theory which is the Juche
Language Theory. The Juche language theory was developed primarily out of two
concepts Kim Il Sung held about language—language as a powerful tool for reeducating
humans and language as the most important symbol of ethno-nationalism. This theory
translates as “self-reliance,” is an odd blend of several different ideas. Its core idea is that
North Korea is a country that must remain separate and distinct from the world,
dependent solely on its own strength and the guidance of a near-godlike leader. From its
inception, Juche has meant whatever the North Korean government needed it to mean.
