Pyongyang Times:For protection and development of mother language
There are many countries and nations in the world and so are corresponding languages.
On February 21 1952 inhabitants of the then East Pakistan (Bangladesh at present) staged a demonstration in an effort to make the Bengali the country’s official language, in which five demonstrators were shot to death.
In November 1999, the UNESCO set February 21 as International Mother Language Day to mourn the inhabitants of the region who died in the struggle to regain the right to use their national language and help protect the languages of the world and step up the sustainable development of diverse cultures.
Nearly 30 years have passed since then, but many languages have gone extinct in the international community.
Voices are rising that many languages are not available in the media, publications and public places and that if such situation lasts, the rate of extinction of languages will be faster than that of animals and plants.
High-handed practices are also openly committed to obliterate national languages.
The present Japanese authorities, who are obsessed with national chauvinism, are resorting to all sorts of persecutions and despicable acts against Koreans in Japan, trampling upon their right to Korean language education though more than 80 years have passed since the collapse of militarism.
The threat to human civilization and the violent threat to the development of languages and cultures can never be tolerated.
In our country, efforts are directed to adding lustre to the superiority of Korean, its national language.
In the course of developing social linguistic life in a noble and cultured way, there has been established a social trait of using even a single word or sentence properly to most accurately and clearly express the era of overall national prosperity.
Books conducive to enriching the linguistic theory and improving the linguistic life, and the norms, reference books and dictionaries related to the usage of Korean, such as “Norms of Korean language” and “Norms of cultured Pyongyang dialect grammar”, have been published in large numbers.
The educational sector is giving the younger generations a deep understanding of the excellence of expressive Korean.
The Law of the DPRK on the Protection of Cultured Pyongyang Dialect was enacted to provide a legal guarantee for preserving and further developing the cultured Pyongyang dialect, the standard of Korean.

Voice of Korea:New fireproof paint developed
Scientists and researchers of the May 28 Metallurgical Institute under the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry developed a new fireproof paint and established its production process in cooperation with technicians of Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex.
The researchers of the institute intensified their study to obtain substances that can be used as raw materials of the fireproof paint. In the course, they obtained a substance with refractoriness of over 1,000℃ which does not melt by molten iron and solved the problem of bonding agent and auxiliary additives according to the actual conditions.
The technicians of blast furnace workshop No. 1 of Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex proved through several rounds of test production that the newly-developed fireproof paint lengthens the life of refractory.
Another progress was made in the centrifugal casting process of the steel casting workshop to increase the production while saving electricity which was used a lot in the course of stripping.
