It's kyogen; so it's more conversational than Noh, and yes, the pronunciation is very precise. The chanted komai may contain more medieval Japanese than the dialogue does.
Don't they speak an archiac form of Japanese in these plays? Much like the official language of the Imperial Japanese Court is not understood by many modern Japanese?
Wow, they really exaggerate the words. With my limited Japanese skill, I can hardly understand anything, but a few familiar words here and there. Interesting.
