Talk:Japanese/Dialects/Ishikawa

Confirmation of the name of this dialect
Can someone clarify the discreptency between Japanese_dialects and this module. Ishikawa-ben is stated to be spoken throughout Ishikawa, but the Wikipedia article places three dialects in the prefecture; Kaga-ben (Southern of Ishikawa), Kanazawa-ben (Around of Kawanazawa city) and Noto-ben (Northern of Ishikawa). Can anyone elaborate? --Swift (talk) 17:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Hokuriku has it's own flavor of speech, and Kanazawa-ben is definitely a subset. The only differences is words for a few things between 金沢弁 and the others. For instance, in Noto I hear "anjin" for boat captain and in kanazawa-ben, I do not hear the fishermen use it. --Degs
