North Korea also known as Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The North Korea’s


national language is Chosŏnmal, and their official language is Pyongan dialect, spoken in
the capital of North Korea which is the Pyongyang. The Bangladesh and North Korea
have their own language planning and policies, but the North Korea’s language policy
and practices is much better that the Bangladesh have.

I. North Korea uses only one language.

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.

III. North Korea do not use loan/borrowed words.


According to Kim Il Sung’s theses in 1964 and 1966 are the foundations of North Korean
language policies. Both these emphasize the importance of keeping its native language
and show strong disapproval of using Chinese characters in reading and writing. Refining
words into native tongue was one radical campaign led by the government that changed
all the foreign words including the words using Chinese spellings into Korean native
ones. Instead of creating new terms to fill any void in the lexicon, Kim stressed the need
to create terms to replace those which were already in use. In a rather bold attempt, Kim
sought to erase historical traces of foreign influence from the language; in other words,
Sino-Korean terms and loanwords will be removed.
In conclusion, North Korea uses only one language to deter the usage of any foreign
language to achieve unity, preserve and purify their own language. Government in North
Korea, which interprets language as an ideological “weapon,” has remained the same
since that state’s foundation, unlike South Korea, which has had various and changing
political voices on the same subject. Moreover, since its inception from the foundation of
the North Korean state, North Korea language planning policy has been touted as the
“teaching” of the charismatic “Great Supreme Leader Kim Il Sung.” This language policy
has developed and thrived in conjunction with Kim Il Sung’s signature ideology, Juche.
In the process of the creation of the North Korean nation-state, North Korea’s official
ideology and language policy, bound up with a popular ethno-nationalism, have been
generally well accepted by language users in that society. After the death of Kim Il Sung
in 1994, the country’s language planning policies have been conducted consistently and
systematically by his political successors with the same ideological motivations. Lastly,
North Korea do not use any borrowed/loan words and make a new word instead to
replace the existing foreign language they are using, in short, they will refine their
language.
