Tochigi dialect

Japanese dialect of the Tochigi prefecture

The Tochigi dialect is a Japanese dialect spoken in Tochigi prefecture. It is classified along with the Ibaraki dialect as an East Kanto dialect, but due to possessing various shared phonological and grammatical features with the neighbouring Fukushima dialect to the north, many scholars consider it instead as part of the wider Tohoku dialect. It has notable differences within the prefecture depending on region, and in some parts of the southwest of the prefecture a separate dialect, the Ashikaga dialect, is spoken.
