Hello Everyone~~

I created a website on the different dialects used around the Korean peninsula. Here are some questions I wanted to ask:

Here's an open question to anyone who has a good understanding of Korean dialect.

QUESTION: How do you pronounce/say simple words such as: 'hello', 'how are you?', 'nice to meet you?', 'welcome' in the dialect you speak in (or the dialect you know of)? [if you want, you can post up more common words that you would like to share in your dialect...the more the better for my project to turn out successful as well]

Like I said, this question can be answered by anyone who knows it. Just remember to provide: a)the dialect you are using, b)spell it out in Korean (if you can), Konglish/Romanization and in English.

EXAMPLE:

Dialect: Seoul

Word: Hello

Korean spelling: 안녕하세요

Romanization/Konglish: Ahnyeonghaesaeyo

Something along those lines would be perfect! If my romanization is incorrect, please feel free to correct me too!

My goal is to see which dialect is most used in Korea. I will pick 6 or 10 most used dialects according to this poll and research those dialects more in depth. I hope to expand my knowledge on the korean dialects through my researches and also with the help of everyone who participates.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR PARTICIPATING!!!

Edit: If you are confused about my question or anything...please leave a reply and I'll clarify it better.

I grew up learning Korean, but when I was introduced to other Koreans my age that also knew how to speak, I was in a rut because I didn't know what words were part of my parents' dialects or what was acceptable as Seoul speak. ^^;;

i feel like i never met any young people with a saturi accent in the USA, i know old people who have all kinds of accents even north korean accents. and in korea i've been to most of the areas so of course i hear different accents... but as for young people in the states, neeever, i wonder why that is!

[Guest lomano]

How distant is a northern korean accent from a Seoul accent? Mutually intelligible?
