For Japs

Can any of you give me specific differences between dialects and accents of Japan? For example, Okinawans and Tokyo accents are different, but I can’t hear a damn difference. Help me figure this shit out.

Arr sounds same

It's hard for people to distinguish accents of a language in which they are not fluent.

Actually, same with Korea. You guys are so damn small yet have tons of different accents. I can’t tell the difference.

Yeah, I know, but if people who do speak it explain, I’ll still be able to know, even though I may not hear it.

True Okinawan languages are distinct languages. Different in every island.

I speak the Owari dialect which sounds pretty dirty desu

Kyoto dialect is historically aristocrat dialect. It sounds pretty

So can people from say, Osaka, understand Okinawans? Or do Okinawans have to alter their way of speaking for them?

Everyone can speak standard Japanese (Tokyo dialect). People usually use local dialect with familiar peoples.

I think only very old people can speak true Okinawa languages. Kinda sad

Oh that’s interesting. Are there any differences in pronunciation? Like the way words are said?

you don't japanese, you can't understand difference.

yo whitechink
it need time to accustom the difference
why dont you get to it?

I heard from a Korean friend that a lot of rural S-Koreans think the Seoul accent sounds incredibly feminine

I can’t even understand you

Because Seoul dialect is clean and formal. The other 2 major dialects in Korea are informal and half assed

Which is better between 立教大学 and 関西外国語大学? I'm a philosophy student and I might do a student exchange in 1 to 1.5 years or so. 京都大学 is also offered so I might go with that one instead, Kyoto being a great town and all.

Oh fuck wrong thread sorry.

I'm from Tokyo, and Okinawan dialect, Kagoshima dialect and some Tohoku dialect are not intelligilbe to me.
This is an example of Tsugaru ben (it's a part of Tohoku dialect) .

Serioulsy, I have no idea what they are saying except i can pick some familiar words from time to time.
I can understand English so much more than some heavy dialects.

京都大学>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>立教大学>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>関西学院大学

I can't understand Okinawa dialect at all(I'm from Tokyo)

>can’t hear a damn difference

your brain is dead so hopeless

Compare Aomori-ben and Hyoujungo
I saw a video of a guy from Tokyo listening to a conversation between two old ladies from Aomori and he said that he had no idea what they were saying 90% of the time
And the differences aren't just phonetic. The vocabulary is completely different and that goes even for the case-marking particles they use

宮古諸方言(みやこしょほうげん)は、琉球語(琉球方言)の内、宮古列島で話される方言(言語)の総称である

How intelligible would a Tohoku dialect such as Sendai ben be?

okinawa belong to SEA you fucking jap invader

The Tohoku region has several unique dialects.
They all sound extremely bumpkin but each is quite different.

Sendai dialect is pretty understandable as most of its distinctive characteristics are seen in the spoken tone, not in the vocabulary itself, while the Aomori dialects (Tsugaru ben and Nanbu ben) are impossible to understand for Japanese from other prefectures as they use completely unique sets of words just like the Okinawan dialect.

To me the Aomori dialects sound like Korean.

>Okinawa
>dialect
They're special case, because they've been an independent nation and they kinda is still using the same language
So it's okay for everybody other than Okinawans to understand Okinawa language
