Gyeongsang Dialect
The Gyeongsang Dialect is a regional variation of the Korean language spoken primarily in the southeastern provinces of South Korea, including Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do. It is known for its distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and intonation patterns, which can differ significantly from the standard Seoul dialect.
This dialect is characterized by its use of rising intonation at the end of sentences, giving it a unique melodic quality. Additionally, certain words and expressions in the Gyeongsang Dialect may not be easily understood by speakers of other Korean dialects, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region.
