最近日本語を流暢に話せる方が増えましたが、その一方で大阪弁などを除いては地方の方言(dialect)はまだあまり関心を持たれていないようです。東北地方に住む私からは、温泉、秋田犬や日本酒などのローカルのお話を交えて東北の方言をみなさんに紹介したいと思います。より深く日本語に親しみを覚えるはずです！必ずしも東北地方全ての地域で話されている言葉だけではないですけども、ぜひ聴いてね！

Quadrilha

João amava Teresa que amava Raimundo
que amava Maria que amava Joaquim que amava Lili,
que não amava ninguém.
João foi para os Estados Unidos, Teresa para o convento,
Raimundo morreu de desastre, Maria ficou para tia,
Joaquim suicidou-se e Lili casou com J. Pinto Fernandes
que não tinha entrado na história.

[Alguma Poesia, 1930)
