The pattern is generally a large spike, with people who have a stronger version, such as outside of Busan, having a larger spike. This spike includes a spike in pitch (up) and volume (louder) specifically to emphasize words, or the the main point of the sentence. The spike is usually added to the end of the sentence, and dips in the middle. This would look like a sharp mountain peak with an elevator pitch and short rounded dips. Emotion is also emphasized largely with more fricatives, which may accompany the raise in pitch and volume (such as when angry or really upset) or coming down from the peak (when disappointed, defeated or to emphasize a disbelief situation.).

== Mannerisms ==
 
 
경상 people generally like to touch each other more than other areas. Don't be surprised if someone touches your arm or your head.
 
 
They are generally more devoted to their friends than other areas. Think of them all as [[깡페]] and it will make more sense: I watch your back, you watch mine, and we're all better off. Trust is very important, as well as keeping promises.
 
 
Also, showing your emotions to your friends and family is not only acceptable, but required. It's ok to be angry with each other as long as you let it go eventually. They tend not to bear grudges or take offense as easily as other areas.
 
 
They really, really don't like the 졸라 attitude, which tends to be more egocentric and family-focused, and much more reserved and composed.
 
 
Outside of Busan, they tend to be viewed by Seoul people as "backwater" but conversely, they see Jeolla people as the true "country people" and have a long-standing rivalry with Jeolla. Conversely, most 경상 people don't care about Seoul people's image at all, except viewing them as much more "cold" rather than passionate.

Location

This is used in the 경상 region of South Korea. It is located in the South east of Korea.

In Korean dramas, when remaking Japanese dramas, Busan version of 경상 dialect is often used in place of the Japanese Osaka Dialect for corresponding characters.

Generational Gap

The younger generation is perfectly capable of speaking and understand the 서울 dialect. However, they like a lot of the dialect and will use it to joke around among friends. If you don't know the dialect, you're an outsider.

The older generation can't speak the 서울 dialect if their life depended on it. Even though my wife is from that area, and I've spent several years among them, I still can't understand but one or two of the things they say.

The middle-aged people try their best, but they are really not good with the 서울 dialect. If you speak with the 서울 dialect they clam up because it feels like you are being formal with them, and they can't keep up.

Inflection

The principle characteristic of the 경상 dialect is its inflection compared to 서울말. To a 서울 dialect person, it sounds like they are throwing a tantrum or chewing someone out. To a 경상 person, they are being passionate, while 서울 is cold and too business-like.

The pattern is generally a large spike, with people who have a stronger version, such as outside of Busan, having a larger spike. This spike includes a spike in pitch (up) and volume (louder) specifically to emphasize words, or the the main point of the sentence. The spike is usually added to the end of the sentence, and dips in the middle. This would look like a sharp mountain peak with an elevator pitch and short rounded dips. Emotion is also emphasized largely with more fricatives, which may accompany the raise in pitch and volume (such as when angry or really upset) or coming down from the peak (when disappointed, defeated or to emphasize a disbelief situation.).

Endings

You'll hear a lot of so-called archaic endings (-거라, etc...). Even the younger generation uses it from time to time.

Abbreviations

  • 기: 것이, 게. Example: 할기다. (할것이다.)
  • 카: -고하-. Example: 뭐라카노? (뭐라고 하노?)

Words

  • 무우다: 먹다

Pronunciation

  • Lacks ㅟ and ㅚ. Pronounced as ㅣ and ㅔ respectively. Generally, diphthongs don't sound like diphthongs at all.
  • Little difference between ㅡ and ㅓ, and ㅐ and ㅔ
    • 언어 and 은어 → [어너]
  • Lacks some double consonants, like ㅆ
    • 쌌다 → [삳다]
    • 쌀 → [살]
  • Diphthongs commonly lose the 'w' sound
    • 사과 → [사가]
  • Sometimes ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅗ, ㅡ become either ㅓ or ㅣ when there's vowel assimilation
    • 막히다 → [매키다]
    • 먹이다 → 매기다
    • 옮기다 → 앵기다
    • 죽이다 → 지기다
  • Sometimes a ㄱ, ㅋ, or ㄲ at the beginning of a word becomes ㅈ, ㅊ, or ㅉ (old people, may be impediment.)
    • 김치 → [짐치]
    • 기름 → [지름]
  • Sometimes ㄱ in the middle of the word disappears or becomes 우.
    • 목욕 → 모욕.
    • 먹었다 → 무웄다.
  • Sometimes a beginning 히 becomes a 시 (For old people, may be speech impediment.)
    • 힘 → [심]
  • Sometimes a beginning consonant becomes a double
    • 과자 → [까자]
  • Sometimes ㅔ becomes ㅣ
    • 했는데 → 했는디

Grammar

The 경상 dialect maintains a trace of Middle Korean: the grammar of the dialect distinguishes between a yes-no question and a wh-question, while Standard Modern Korean does not. With an informal speech level, for example, yes-no questions end with "-a (아)" and wh-questions end with "-o (오)" in the 경상 dialect, whereas in standard speech both types of questions end in either "이" or "어" without a difference between the types of questions. For example:

  • "밥 묵읏나?" as opposed to "밥 먹었니?" or "밥 먹었어?" — "Did you eat?"
  • "머 하노?" as opposed to "뭐 하니?" or "뭐 해?" — "What are you doing?"

Notice that the first question can be answered with a yes or no, while the latter question is to be answered otherwise.

This phenomenon can also be observed in tag questions, which are answered with a yes or no.

  • "업제 그쟈?" as opposed to "없지, 그렇지?" — "It isn't there, is it?"
