Note Dialect Research Summary (1): The "Dialect Boundary" Seen in Aho and Baka

About a month ago, I asked the following questions in the article above.
1. Dialects for 'Aho' and 'Baka'
2. Dialects for when you feel unwell
3. Casual dialects used in conversation
4. Words that seem to have a boundary line

The total number of comments was 94.
Excluding my replies and those who provided multiple comments, a total of 45 people cooperated.
Plus, someone from Nagano Prefecture participated from a different blog site.

Once again, thank you for your cooperation.

I will now report the results.

Note: I am presenting the answers exactly as I received them from everyone, so there is a mix of hiragana, katakana, and prefecture/city names.

1. Dialects for 'Aho' and 'Baka'

・Hokkaido: "Hankakusai", "Takosuke", "Bokenasu", "Takuranke (Otaru)"
・Niigata: "Pon", "Pontsuku", "Tarazu"
・Sendai: "Baka"
・Fukushima: "Baka", "Ontsua"
・Gunma: "Baka"
・Saitama: "Baka", "Pa"
・Ibaraki: "Dere", "Gojappe"
・Nagano: "Baka"
・Tokyo: "Baka", "Boke~", "Bokenasu~", "Manuke~", "Zakenanna~ (no fu)"
・Edo dialect: "Beraboume", "Touhenboku"
・Shizuoka: "Anpontan"
・Kanagawa: "Baka"
・Gifu: "Baka", "Tawake"
・Nagoya:
"Tawake", "Ta-ke", "Aho", "Baka", "Toroi gane!"
・Nagoya (Owari): "Taake"
・Kyoto: "Aho"
・Osaka (Kawachi): "Ahondara (andara)"
・Hyogo: "Aho", "Dabo"
・Hiroshima: "Baka" (Aho is used when it's cute or funny)
・Tottori: "Darazu", "Ahou", "Toppaa"
・Fukuoka: "Kusare mentama"

'Aho' is now at a national level

Aho is standard in Kansai, but recently children often use Baka, and conversely, the use of Aho is increasing in Kanto, so it feels like dialects are gradually ceasing to be dialects.

Diverse and unique expressions

Hokkaido's "Hankakusai" and "Takuranke (Otaru)", Niigata's "Pon", "Pontsuku", and "Tarazu", Fukushima's "Ontsua", Ibaraki's "Dere" and "Gojappe", and Tottori's "Darazu" and "Toppaa" no longer sound like Japanese (lol).
Many Kansai people know Hyogo's "Dabo", so I'm used to it, but isn't that also strange?
It is said to be a shortened and dialectal variation of "Do-aho".

Nagoya (Aichi) is a mix

Perhaps because it is located in the middle of the Japanese archipelago, Aichi Prefecture seems to have a mix of "Aho", "Baka", and "Tawake".
The meaning is understood everywhere in Kansai, so "Tawake" might also be national now.
Since "King Nikochan" who appeared in "Dr. Slump Arale-chan" spoke in Nagoya dialect, it has become completely natural to me (lol).

2. Dialects for when you feel unwell

・Hokkaido: "Kowai", "Haranbe warui", "Haranbe iguneja" (also means to be angry)
・Niigata: "Nangii (Nangi-i)"
・Sendai: "Guewarii"
・Fukushima: "Kowai", "Shindoi"
・Gunma: "Darui"
・Saitama: "Darui", "Kitsui"
・Ibaraki: "Daeda, mou"
・Nagano: "Guai warui"
・Tokyo: "Tsurai", "Kuso~", "Kuso mitai~", "Kuso choushi warui~", "Yabai", "Guai warui"
・Kanagawa: "Shindoi"
・Gifu: "Deera eree"
・Nagoya: "Erai", "Darii"
・Nagoya (Owari): "Eryaa", "Shindoi"
・Kyoto: "Shindoi"
・Osaka: "Shindoi"
・Hyogo: "Shindoi", "Zutsunai"
・Hiroshima: "Taigii", "Darii"
・Tottori: "Shindoi", "Erai", "Setsunai"

Is 'Shindoi' spreading nationwide?

I thought 'Shindoi' was only used in Kansai, so I was surprised that it is used in a wide range of areas including Fukushima, Kanagawa, Nagoya, and Tottori.
Has it reached the level of standard Japanese? (lol)

'Nangii' and 'Taigii'

What's interesting is that Niigata's "Nangii (Nangi-i)" and Hiroshima's "Taigii" are very similar despite being far apart, so they might come from the respective etymologies of "Nangi" (hardship) and "Taigi" (tediousness).

3. Casual dialects used in conversation

・Hokkaido: "Shitakke (Well then)"
・Niigata: "Sooseba! (Well then!)", "Dasuke (Because)", "Dannanga (Because)", "Kotte (Very/Extremely)", "Soigaman (That's how it is)" -> There is a mascot character called Soigaman
・Fukushima: "Sasukenee", "~kunansho"
・Sendai: "Undene (See you later)"
・Gunma: "Yattagane (adding ga)", "Danbe", "~nansa", "~daine", "~nankai", "Aanee", "Nakkara"
・Saitama: "~jan"
・Ibaraki: "Wakyaaneebe", sentence endings like "datchike", "dashike"
・Nagano: "Zuku"
・Tokyo: "~jan", "Maji de (Seriously)", "Ano yo~ (You know...)", "Dakedo yo~ (But...)", "Dakara yo~ (So...)", "Konaida (The other day)", "Shoppana (The beginning)", "Shasharu (To be pushy)"
・Kanagawa: "Dabe?"
・Gifu: "Yan" with "ga (sentence ending)"
・Nagoya: "Houkya", "Dera", "Deerai", "Jan"

・Kyoto: "Kanan (Dislike, impossible, troublesome)"
・Osaka: "Mata●●ikonana~ (Let's go again~ (even though we haven't been))", "Yayokoshii (Troublesome/Difficult)"

Nagano: "Zuku"

This is from a true Nagano native I've known for 12 years now.
We mainly interact online, but we have met in person twice, and at the time, I had no idea what it meant.
In short, it means patience, motivation, vitality, or enthusiasm, and there is a theory that the etymology comes from "Jiku (Axis)".

Niigata: "Dannanga (Because)"

Hearing this suddenly, I didn't understand it at all. It actually seems like a more complicated way of saying it.
I searched for the etymology, but nothing came up.

Fukushima: "Sasukenee"

It means "It's okay" or "It's no big deal."
I believe it appeared in "Mibu Gishiden" by Jiro Asada.
I've seen the original work, as well as the movie and the drama, so I understood it immediately.

Tokyo/Saitama/Nagoya: "~jan"

In Kansai dialect, would that be "yaro"?
When people say "~jan", it can come across as a bit pretentious.

Osaka: "Yayokoshii"

Actually, the meaning changes slightly depending on the time and situation.
So, it might truly be confusing for people from other prefectures to hear (lol).
I realized once again that Osaka people use it quite frequently.

Is Tottori a three-stage conjugation?

Are similar conjunctions changing between the East, Central, and West regions?
Words change by region everywhere, but here it seems to be changing while somehow retaining its original form.


④ Dialects that likely have boundaries

I've gathered words that are expected to show significant regional differences!
Inside the 【】 below each word, I have provided my own answer representing Osaka.

① "Janken (Rock-paper-scissors)"
【Janken. Injan.】
② "Warm", "Cold"
【Nukui. Samui.】
③ Saying "~ra" instead of "~da"
【Yan】
④ "Boring"
【Shoomonai】
Splintertoge|
ーHiroshima "Suibari"
【Toge】
⑥ "Gloomy, plain"
ShinkikusaiGloomy/Irritating
⑦ "Must not do"ー
Kagawa "Ikensozona"
【Akande】
⑧ "To throw away"
【Horu】
⑨ "Ruler"
ーGunma is "Senbiki"
【Sashi】
⑩ "Occhin"ーTo sit
Only used for toddlers. If you say it to an adult, it becomes a joke (lol).
⑪ "Very (Extremely)"ー
Hokkaido "Namara"
【Gottsuu, Metcha】
⑫ To tidy up
【Shimau】
⑬ Adhesive bandage
【Band-Aid】
⑭ Referring to oneself and others
"Kotchi" (this way/me), referring to others as "atchi" (that way) or "aitsu" (that guy)
Self: 【Watashi, Uchi, Boku, Ore, Wai】
Other: 【Jibun, Anta, Omae, Kimi】 It's confusing to call the other person "jibun" (self), isn't it.
⑮ To stir
【Kakimazeru】
⑯ To put on gloves
【Suru, Hameru】
⑰ "A little while"
【Youteru ma】
⑱ "Tomorrow's bread"
ーBread for tomorrow's breakfast
