  • @maneatingbanana I meant 宮崎・何やしょっと?

  • What they are saying: 中間・何しようん?福岡市・何しとうと?大分市・何しちょん?何­やちょっと?長崎・何ばりよっと?佐賀・何ばしようと?広島・何­しとん?鹿児島・何しちょっとか?

  • @hikikomORIGIN - The two dialects sound the same, though I think I was a little too fast to post, and he spoke to quietly. Either way, the dialects are fascinating. さらばじゃ。

  • @japanimefan02 isnt it saga? ^^

    

  • 声が小さい

    

  • @Cyrus150 These are "standard Japanese", which is quite different from spoken Japanese.....なにしてる is commonly used in Tokyo region, but other regions have their own dialects.

  • Why isn't this listed as one of them?

    何をしっている?

    何もしっていない。

    or ます・ません。

  • I think the third to last one (何ばしよと?) is the Hakata Dialect. I heard the accent in the anime Ghost Hound, and found it quite interesting. I think a few of them might be related to Hakata. The structure looks similar.

  • 声が小さいなー
