*********************************

How was it?

Japanese dialects also
play a major role in
communication among local residents.


Japan is also diverse, and
when you change locations,
there is a new culture there.


If you don't understand the dialect
of the place you moved to,
I hope you can use it as an opportunity for communication,
such as by asking the locals to teach you.


"If you don't use language, it will disappear."


Actually, it is said that there are many dialects (or regional languages) in Japan that are on the verge of disappearing.



Since language and culture are closely related, I would like to cherish them. (*^_^*)




※Regarding the dialect quiz, even within the same prefecture,
there are areas that use certain words and areas that do not.
Please understand this.



For those who love quizzes, please try this one too~(^(^^)/

it is said that they say "Hebano" for "See you later."
