I say “recently” in a relative way, more so countries that have split in the last century. Places like North and South Korea, Taiwan and China, former USSR states, etc.
Has enough time passed that these countries separated have major changes in their languages yet?
Taiwan and China have different writing systems.
South Korea has a huge amount of English words in it’s language while North Korea doesn’t at all.
Also there’s a big ass wall around north korea.
Sry someone had to say it :)
The title doesn’t say it but in the text they’re asking for changes in the languages ;)
I have no idea how I missed that in the title because that’s the only thing I was wondering about lol But just changed it
Thanks for letting me have a crack at it tho lmao
They’re not THAT different. In fact, they both used to use the same system, but mainland China simplified a bunch of characters to combat illiteracy and make writing easier while Taiwan did not. The pronunciation did not change however and they can still understand each other.
