Ōita dialect

Ōita dialect (大分方言, Ōita-hōgen), commonly called Ōita-ben (大分弁), is a dialect of Japanese spoken in Ōita Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan. Even within the prefecture, regional differences are still prevalent; for example, vocabulary within the Hita and Nakatsu regions tends to differ from that used in other regions of Ōita.
