dialect

The dialect study of Iwate Prefecture is said to have come to the fore in the "Mikuni Tsuki" written by Takeshi Hattori, a samurai feudal clan, in 1790 (2nd year of Kansei). In "Mikuni Tsuki", the vocabulary used in everyday life is 567 words, and the Edo word "Kohoru" is used.Morioka dialectIt takes the form of a series of items corresponding to the "similar". Before and after Takeshi Hattori, Moritaka Kurokawa's "Tani Shimizu (1799)" and Omotomura Tsukasa "Moryo Dialect (1877)" are all vocabulary books.

In 1903 (Meiji 36), the dialect survey by the National Language Survey Committee was conducted, and as a result, schools and individuals in each region actively conducted surveys and research. It is said that it can be roughly divided into 2 areas into 4 areas, and when divided into 4 areas, the northern dialect area in the band form adjacent to Akita and Aomori prefectures from Hirono town to Nishiwaga town, the coastal dialect from Kuji city coast to Ofunato city north Central dialect region from central Morioka to central Tono city and northern Kitakami city, next to southern dialect region from Kanegasaki town to Kamaishi city^[32].
