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.

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

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.
