Citing detailed facts, the paper said: South Korea is a colony in terms of language. The present "government" there declared it as a policy to "use international language, common tongue" and "co-use Chinese characters and foreign languages," talking about "era of globalization," and has turned South Korea into the world's worst "colony" in terms of language, a "barren land of national language." In South Korea at least 26 foreign languages are now used such as English, Japanese, Greek, Spanish and Hebrew. The "Korean dictionary" is called "foreign language dictionary" because over 80 percent of the words are written in foreign languages and Chinese characters. Almost all the texts of "code of laws," "legal" documents, "formal adjudication," "government papers," etc, have been written in foreign languages and Chinese characters. Worse still, its "nomenclature" is written and sealed in Chinese characters. Kim Dae Jung, its present "President," is also called "DJ."
In the world there is no such place as South Korea where road marks are written in three languages including English and Chinese characters and resident registration cards in two languages. Mass media of South Korea mainly use foreign and mixed languages and 80-90 percent of brands and advertisements are written in foreign languages and Chinese characters. And businesses are competitively named in English. Use of foreign languages is rapidly growing in daily life, to say nothing of specialized sectors such as science, literature and art and sports. According to a survey made by South Korean philologists into 1,643 daily life vocabularies, 95 percent of them are foreign and mixed languages while words peculiar to the Korean language are no more than five percent of the total.
Such practices are serious in the field of education. More than 70 percent of the terms used in teaching are foreign. South Korea, where its own written and spoken language can hardly be seen or heard but foreign languages are rampant, is, in the real sense of word, a colony in terms of language. Its ruling quarters are resorting to the use of foreign languages and Chinese characters and mixed languages, neglecting the Korean language. This is a vivid expression of their flunkeyism, treachery and national nihilism and anti-social, anti-national and anti-reunification conception. They have contended that the use of foreign languages and Chinese characters is inevitable as the written and spoken Korean language is unsuitable for "globalization", pretty hard in expression and outdated in view of the trend of the times. And they have described the use as a measure taken for "era of international language, common tongue."
In contrast to the south of Korea, the north has firmly preserved the Juche character and national character in the field of language, with the result that the Korean language has been further developed. It was long ago that foreign languages and Chinese characters were eliminated from its politico-social life thanks to the embodiment of the Juche-based linguistic idea and policy advanced by the President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il. Press media in the DPRK use words easy for everyone to understand and its people the most cultured Pyongyang language. Under the guidance of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, language, which was once regarded as means of social communication and cultural expression, could take its proper position and play its role as a main ingredient determining each nation, an important matter decisive of rise or fall of the nation, and an instrument for revolution and construction. This was a noteworthy event in human history, the paper concluded.
