Kansai Japanese
Native to: Japan
Region: Kansai
Language family: Japonic
The Kansai dialect (関西弁, Kansai-ben, also known as Kansai hōgen (関西方言)) is a group of Japanese dialects in the Kansai region (Kinki region) of Japan. In Japanese, Kansai-ben is the common name and it is called Kinki dialect (近畿方言, Kinki hōgen) in technical terms. The dialects of Kyoto and Osaka, especially in the Edo period, are also called Kamigata dialect (上方言葉, Kamigata kotoba, or Kamigata-go (上方語)). The Kansai dialect is typified by the speech of Osaka, the major city of Kansai, which is referred to specifically as Osaka-ben. It is characterized as being both more melodic and harsher by speakers of the standard language.
Since Osaka is the largest city in the region and its speakers gained the most media exposure over the last century, non-Kansai-dialect speakers tend to associate the dialect of Osaka with the entire Kansai region. However, technically, Kansai dialect is not a single dialect but a group of related dialects in the region. Each major city and prefecture has a particular dialect, and residents take some pride in their particular dialectal variations.
The common Kansai dialect is spoken in Keihanshin (the metropolitan areas of the cities of Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe) and its surroundings, a radius of about 50 km (31 mi) around the Osaka-Kyoto area (see regional differences).[3] In this article, it is mainly discussed about the Keihanshin version of Kansai dialect in Shōwa period and Heisei period.
Dialects of other areas have different features, some archaic, from the common Kansai dialect. Tajima and Tango (except Maizuru) dialects in northwest Kansai are too different to be regarded as Kansai dialect and are thus usually included in the Chūgoku dialect. Dialects spoken in Southeastern Kii Peninsula including Totsukawa and Owase are also far different from other Kansai dialects, and considered a language island. The Shikoku dialect and the Hokuriku dialect share many similarities with the Kansai dialects, but are classified separately.

![[EN&JP Sub] Kansai Dialect vs Standard Japanese!?【TOP72 Words】](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vQPyLGh7U1E/mqdefault.jpg)
It sounded like Standard Japanese until I started hearing the different tones
Syraephym Aesphodel i know right
@@takashi.mizuiro Yeah ! It's kinda weird but really cool
Ive been stunned with the kansai dialect since about 6 or 5yrs ago? and then I started adding "hen" on my words.
he pronounced it a bit over the top to be honest. Kansai Ben isn't tonal, however the pitch is different. I can speak Osaka Ben, Kyoto Ben a bit, as well as Standard Japanese :) Its not that hard to learn if you know standard Japanese as most comedians are from Osaka and the Kansai area. Kyoto Ben is "posh" ( I think the speaker is from Kyoto). Osaka Ben is more friendly sounding.
Therapist: Japanese with tones isn't real, it can't hurt yo-
Japanese with tones:
It's actually a pitch accent, not tonal
@@jansen9506 pretty sure they're referring to 1:06 those were definitely tones
@@jansen9506 What is the difference?
@@jansen9506 What is the difference?
@@Anna-zr1tk Pitch accent are tones in a whole word, not by syllables
I don’t know why but I freaking love “Metcha ē yan!”
yeah most anime use kansai ben because it sounds so cool lmao
Kansai-ben was ē dē~
I love it too. Also Honma.
Hello, I'm from Japan.🇯🇵
Thank you for making this video !
The Kansai dialect is grouped together as a dialect of the Kansai region.
But in fact, it has different intonations or words depending on the region like Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo and so on.
So, some people call it individually like Kyoto-ben(dialect), Osaka-ben(dialect), Hyogo-ben(dialect) and so on.
This video seems to introduce Kyoto-ben. All intonations are attractive.
It must be pointed out that the boundaries between these dialects are becoming blurred due to cross-border commuting.
Since you can travel between Kyoto and Osaka in 30 minutes, and between Osaka and Kobe in 20 minutes, it is inevitable that languages will intermingle.
kansai japanese : (has tones)
chinese : hey 👋
哈哈(haha)😂😂
Those are not tones, those markings above the letters are a sign of elongating vowel sounds. Like, "a" and "ā", the difference is, "ā" is longer than "a".
@@ThisIsAlmondz I think they’re referring to the wider tonal range of the dialect compared to Standard Japanese (I’ve heard it described as “singsongy” or “petulant-sounding”). Some linguists do posit a separate “falling tone” (for single-mora words traditionally analyzed as “elongated” with a HL sequence) that would make it a true tonal language rather than just having a pitch accent.
Try learning cantonese
@@Kaigokuiwu As a Cantonese I would not deliberately distinguish some similar tones. They are just slightly different
Everybody gangsta til Japan had tones
it's probably the emperor and dynasty dialect, the one used to look elegant and dinstinguished, so they might had tones I think, but the Japanese folk/people never really used it probably
@@lumizu2091 Japanese dialects tend to have strong tones. Standard Japanese doesn’t have tones only because they tried to reduce it to make it “standard”. Standard Japanese is kinda artificial.
@@lumizu2091 We all use it here in Osaka.
@@user-ce1pw5bp1m Is it due to ancient Chinese influence?
@@scepticsquirrel
ancient chinese didn't have tones...
This is like the Kyoto dialect. There are also various types of Kansai Japanese such as the Osaka dialect and the Kobe dialect. Kyoto dialect sounds elegant to Japanese people!
I'm pretty sure Kyoto is in the Kansai region
The negative form is in Kyoto dialect, but the polite form is Osaka.
Negative in Kyoto: Arahen
Negative in Osaka: Arehen
Polite in Kyoto: Iwahara
Polite in Osaka: Iiharu
This is called Kansai Kyoutsuugo which is a mix of the different Kansai dialects which is used now throughout many parts of Kansai.
However, the dialogue read aloud is in Kyoto intonation.
I see - that’s very interesting. Which is the “harder” version of the Kansai Dialect? Is it the Osaka one?
@@UnoriginallyOriginal Kyoto people are more roundabout, so it is harder I think.
No wonder. I can feel the sophistication even though I don't speak Japanese lol. I think it's the way he pronounces each word with a smooth tone.
Yakuza characters who speak in Kansai dialect
真島吾朗 (Goro Majima)
郷田龍司 (Ryuji Goda)
冴島大河 (Taiga Saejima)
渡瀬勝 (Masaru Watase)
狭山薫 (Kaoru Sayama)
and Kerberos from Cardcaptor Sakura.
As a native kansai dialect speaker , I'm glad that my dialect is featured on this channel!
I'm literally in love with this dialect. It sounds so warm and lively.
@@sirmiluch6856 Thank you!
Is it hard to talk to those who use standard Japanese?
@@JustSomeoneHere941 No. I can communicate with standard Japanese speakers just fine, except for a few dialect-specific words that they cannot understand.
0:29 hits REAL different after watching the live action Grave of the Fireflies. Hisako tearfully whispering “okini” is something you never forget
I was expecting "okushi yasu" (welcome), "nandeyanen" (what the....), "bochi bochi" (I'm fine) and "moukari makka" (ogenki desu ka?), but I learned new things upon watching this! Rock on!
Moukari makka means “how are you”
おぉ…すごい… 違和感はあるけど関西弁紹介してくれてるんめっちゃ嬉しい…☺️
So
Im from MALAYSIAN
When I was in elementary school we had to take Japanese and to this day I remember how to count to 20. The thing is when I started watching anime I noticed that the words they were using for numbers were different. It is not until now that I realized that my Japanese teacher in elementary school was teaching us Kansai dialect.
Hi,
The numbers are actually not different at all (from what I can tell from this video) from standard Japanese.
Numbers are different depending on what you're counting or how you're using them in general
Where are you from? I could never imagine Japanese being taught at elementary schools outside of Japan.
@@didiwu8876 Since 2016, there are 4 elementary schools in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi that teach Japanese language, I don't know about other places.
Damn i am glad that the Tokyo variant of japanese only has pitch accent because learning this would give me fucking nightmares
This dialects can be heard in some Kyoto Animation animes.

this is so soothing
Listening to some of these remind me of my teacher trying to teache chinese tones
Ma má mâ mà
You should do one on Tsugaru Dialect from Aomori Japan. My husband speaks this dialect and it’s so different from normal Japanese people in Tokyo don’t understand him. 津軽弁
I need a volunteer.
@@ilovelanguages0124 I can’t speak it myself but my husband and his family do. Grandma ONLY speaks that dialect. Should I record some basic words when I visit her again and send them to you somehow?
I'm half japanese my mum talt me tge Tokyo dialect and yes I can't understand its kinda like the Doric dialect of scotland
Now that I hear the Kansai dialect, i can now hear it when I listen to Majima talk! Even though I've seen this video already, I never actually could hear the difference, but now it makes sense when I listen to Majima from Yakuza
Kansai Japanese sounds like Standard Japanese, despite having strong rising or falling tones.
It sounds like a sarcastic person mixed with Shakespeare with me
@@darius684In fact, Kyoto people are famous for their sarcasm
地元とちょっと違うなぁと思ってたら京都弁っぽいねんな

I love Japanese anime
from north Africa

Yes he is some berber from morocco or algeria.
@@juandiegovalverde1982 Don’t use the word berber,is offensive.
@@jadeyunetdicaprio5754 Who are you to say that its offensive? Plenty of Berbers call themselves Berbers.
Thats the coolest alphabet I've seen
the alphabets are like Latin in a parallel world
like
You should make a video about Kagoshima dialect. It's very different from Standard Japanese
“Polite form” is really “informal polite” form. Otherwise it’s the same “-masu” form as Standard apart from the pitch accent (as well it should be, as Standard borrowed it from Kansai).
Kansai dialect sounds kinda tonal.
@@Anna-zr1tk Wow a language that has tones sounds tonal? That's so unexpected.
たまたまこの動画にたどり着いたけど関西弁紹介されててびっくりした！ いつか東北弁とかも紹介されるんだろうか…。
個人的には沖縄と関西、東北で比較して紹介されてたら面白いと思う。
In fact, people in Kansai more rarely speak with strong accent as in this video than a few decades ago.
welcomeがようお越し〜って違和感持ってしまった
よう来たな〜の方が近いんかも
This Kansai dialect I hear when, my standard Japanese used to brain is strange becoming.
Wait what, Kansai Japanese have tones ? Nani ?
I like the way she pronounces 'the'
Sounds like Shogo, the youtuber.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
1:06 uh oh Kansai Dialect has different tones AAA (actually Japanese language has upper and lower tones while saying some several words)
kansai dialect: always has tones
chinese:hey, bro!お疲れ !
I love Kansai-ben! Reminds me of my own dialect in my language.
Kansai really rolls of the tongue I wish I can learn it without going the extra step for learning Tokyo first
How to speak kansai ben: just mess up the pitch accent for every single word as obviously as possible apparently :D
違うでしょう？そうするときっと偽関西弁と言われてるのでしょう？アクセントは系統的にずれてるからね関東弁と関西弁は
@@tktktkam947 冗談ですよ :)
Not really pitch,it's kind tonal.
@@Anna-zr1tk Tone and pitch are the same thing.
@@tktktkam947 its called a joke nerd
関西弁の音便がすごい気に入ったｗｗｗ

It has Okinawa,amami and so on
「〜はる」を「〜へん」と同列にするのはどうなんですか、関西の方？尊敬語といって区別はされないのですか？
I love the Kansai accent it's just so nice to listen to
「〜はる」は標準語で言うところの、「〜られる」や「〜される」などの尊敬を表す助動詞です。
自分や目下の人物の行為に対しては使いません。
（京都弁では、非生物に対して「〜はる」を使う事もあります）

Tonal Japanese doesn't exi-
Many languages are a bit tonal even English

@@KerbalHub to and too
@@user-kp9of7re9q that is a long vowel.
@@Jykesonville
this is called pitch accent.
this is similar but not same
I can almost hear Mandarin influence in this. Must be the tones!
I guess Kyoto must be a "china town" of Japan.
@@RaffinhaX No, they're just the cool side of Japan.
おおきに!
Can anyone tell me which dialect sounds good or better? Is it kansai or standard? I want to learn Japanese.
I like the standard dialect better.
I suggest you to learn Standard Japanese, so that anyone who speaks Japanese can understand it.
Thank you for replying me
Have a great day
Stay safe 💜
@@eizzatakrami6273 that is false
@@thenorthstarsamurai I don't remember where did I get that but it's true
Wait until you hear the Tsugaru dialect. Its wild
Kansaijin nara yappari~
thinking abt kita shinsuke
Language of most anime and game characters
Conan and haikyu all these anime also useing this language tho.
the kansai dialect is the best in my opinion
Why does this sound like a Tokyo guy trying real hard to sound Osakan? 🥹😂
Haru is "polite" Kansai speech. The "sa" row tends to becomes an aspiration at the end of words. Hence "~masen" becomes "~maHEN." "Haru" is a contraction of "nasaru." (Nasaru → naharu →'haru) 🤓
It's pretty cool actually. To me it sounds drunk
Omaewa mou shinderu
Me: 0:58
I think it might be important to learn the Kansai dialect because I think it might be cheaper to travel or move to than Kanto.

People are saying Japanese has tones. No, those are pitch accents. If you want tones, look up Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese.
This is nowhere near Pitch Accent.
@@danielantony1882 Japanese is a pitch accent language.
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz Kansai Ben isn't.
@@danielantony1882 It does have pitch accent. Wtf are you talking about?
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz You mean the 4 types of pitch accent along with Nakadaka, Atamadaka, Odaka and Heiban? Did you even watch the video?
