∙ 8y agoYES. Both Koreas speak Korean. However, there are some small dialectical differences between the North and South, primarily since the South Korean language changed in order to accommodate foreign words and new concepts. Probably the best comparison over the difference in the dialects would be to compare US television from the 1940s and US television from the 2010s. Both are English, but there is a different way of using the language and some different phrasings.
