Yep. That is my vague memory. I may be wrong here. Both political
entities use Soeul region's dialect as the base of written "official"

I thought there are good amount of regional dialect in spoken world of

What you meant was there is no need to worry about written language for
dialect, I thought.

Anway, I am moving back to Tokyo. In my case in Japanse, I write in so
called satndard languge including Debian Reference translation. No need
to worry. I thought about making joke version of Reference Translation
in my home dialect. Well...
