In general, the loanwords in North Korean tend to follow the meaning of the original words, whereas those in South Korean follow the pronunciation of the words.&lt;p&gt;For example, &amp;quot;system memory&amp;quot; is translated as &amp;quot;시스템 메모리&amp;quot; in South Korean, which is basically a transcription that reads as [siseutem memori]. In contrast, the same word is translated to &amp;quot;체계기억기&amp;quot; in North Korean, which is composed of 체계(=system), 기억(=remembering), 기(=machine), as shown in the last figure.&lt;p&gt;And also, they tend to use less word spacing in general. &amp;quot;관리자가입정보설정&amp;quot; in North Korean would be written &amp;quot;관리자 가입 정보 설정&amp;quot; in South Korean. It&amp;#x27;s much alike German word compound vs. English word composition (Bundesverfassungsgericht vs. Federal Constitutional Court).</text></comment>

There was an article about someone looking at their browser:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.whitehatsec.com/north-koreas-naenara-web-browser-its-weirder-than-we-thought/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;blog.whitehatsec.com&amp;#x2F;north-koreas-naenara-web-browse...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;That one is funkier. Some ancient netscape version. The most shocking thing to me was that the whole country seem to run on a single 10.x.x.x network!</text></comment>
