DIALECT STEREOTYPE

each dialect has stereotype here few:

KANSAI-BEN: many people find this dialect rude and are offended by it if you talk to them this way
OSAKA-BEN: this is consider funny dialect because the use chii,kii,nii,oo, and chuu alot
TOHOKU-BEN:considered farm talk, like people in north america with funny accent
TOKYO-BEN: considered girly
OKINAWA-BEN: considered barbaric, it has many souns that go suzu
KYO KOTOBA: only dialect with no bad stetreotype. it dialect of kyoto. it considered sophistaced and melodious. it alot like kansai-ben, so i suggest instead of learnong that learn this

In my Beyond Polite Japanese book it says that ちゅう may also be used... Is that true??? What's the difference between the two?
