The are a group of the Japanese dialects spoken in Shikoku Island. The Shikoku dialects are: * Awa dialect (Tokushima Prefecture, formerly known as Awa Province) * Sanuki dialect (Kagawa Prefecture formerly known as Sanuki Province) * Iyo dialect (Ehime Prefecture, formerly known as Iyo Province) * Tosa dialect (Kōchi Prefecture, formerly known as Tosa Province) * * Hata Dialect (Hata district, westernmost of Kochi) The Shikoku dialect has many similarities to Chūgoku dialect in grammar. Shikoku dialect uses ''ken'' for "because", and -''yoru'' in progressive aspect and -''toru'' or -''choru'' in the perfect. Some people in Kōchi Prefecture use ''kin'', ''kini'', or ''ki'' instead of ''ken'', -''yō'' (Hata) or -''yū'' (Tosa) instead of -''yoru'', and -''chō'' (Hata) or -''chū'' (Tosa) instead of -''choru''. The largest difference between Shikoku dialect and Chūgoku dialect is in pitch accent. Except southwestern Ehime and Eastern Kochi (yellow area on the right map), many dialects in Shikoku uses Kyoto-Osaka-type accent or its variations and are similar to Kansai dialect, but Chūgoku dialect uses a Tokyo-type accent. == 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「Shikoku dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
