Chinese and Japanese.

 The language is continuously growing and improving. Some words


are retained, and some are changed and new ones are acquired.

 There are a couple of dialects. A citizen of North Korea may not


necessarily understand the one from South Korea. However in
order to make sure they understand each other they speak using
the dialect of Seoul when needed.
