Welcome to the Hokkaido-ben General Discussion!

This is where we discuss everything related to the Japanese hokkaido-ben dialect, including, but not limited to:

-differences in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and other things between hokkaido-ben and Tokyo-ben
-recommendations for dictionaries, websites, etc

and everything else about the Japanese dialect of the Rural Hokkaido island region.

Features of Hokkaido-ben include a distinctive vocabulary and less prounounced differences between masculine and feminine speech. The following are some examples of words and phrases common in Hokkaido that are uncommon in standard Japanese

~This dialect is used on the far north island of Hokkaido.
