???What's Japanese dialect???

Japanese dialects are classified into two. First, the new words that come from the capital and spread across the regions.
The new words disappeared from the capital, but they remained in the other regions far from the capital. Because life was not easy in the old days. People didn't have freedom to move to another place.
Next, each of the areas were separated from each other, because they didn't have satisfactory transportation.
Such conditions created interesting and unique words, and the words spread only within a specific area.

!!!Thinking about Toyama's dialect!!!

I like Toyama's dialects.
Because I think Toyama's dialects are warmer than standard Japanese.
I tried to speak standard Japanese before, but I couldn't speak it well.
I'm completely used to speaking Toyama's dialect.
So I enjoy talking in Toyama's dialect with my friends every day!
I want you to speak TOYAMABEN,when you come Toyama.
I love Toyama's dialects! I love Toyama!!
