The Hōnichi dialect (豊日方言|''Hōnichi hōgen'') is a group of the Japanese dialects spoken in eastern Kyushu. It is closer in some ways to Western Japanese (Chūgoku dialect) that it is to other Kyushu dialects. The name ''Hōnichi'' (豊日) is constructed by extracting a representative kanji from ''Buzen'' (豊前), ''Bungo'' (豊後) and ''Hyūga'' (日向), names of old provinces there. The Hōnichi dialect is: * Buzen dialect (eastern Fukuoka Prefecture and northwestern Ōita Prefecture, formerly known as Buzen Province) * * Kitakyūshū dialect (Kitakyūshū) * * Nakatsu dialect (centered Nakatsu) * Ōita dialect (most of Ōita Prefecture) * Miyazaki dialect (most of Miyazaki Prefecture) Honichi dialect does not share some features peculiar to other Kyushu dialects such as ''ka''-adjective and ''batten'' particle. Buzen-Oita dialects do not use ''to'' particle. An emphasizing particle ''cha'' is used in Honichi dialect and Yamaguchi dialect. In the pitch accent, Miyazaki dialect and Buzen-Oita dialects are very different. Buzen-Oita dialects use Tokyo-type accent as well as Chugoku dialect, but Miyazaki dialect is noted for its monotony accent as well as some dialects classified the Hichiku dialect. Another striking difference between Miyazaki and Buzen-Oita dialects is the particle meaning "because": while Miyazaki dialect uses ''kara'' or ''kai'', Buzen-Oita dialects use ''ken'' or ''kee'' or ''kii'' as well as Chugoku, Shikoku and Hichiku dialects. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hōnichi dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
