Talk:Accent

Kansai accent/dialect

Someone who knows more about Japan, can you please throw something in here about the use of regional accents/dialects in Japanese media? I know Kansai is supposed to suggest a kind of naivety or bumpkin-like mentality, but I don't know much more than that. Are there other accents that are used similarly? And is there a 'default' sort of voice, like how most TFs from the Western fiction have that generic Midwestern news reader accent (or lack thereof?) Hooper_X 08:31, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Was there a big discussion here before the crash? Google cache is long gone by now. --fleb 22:43, 8 June 2009 (EDT)
