Language
While the standard Tokyo dialect of the Japanese language is used in Tottori Prefecture now, historically the region had extensively linguistic diversity, and several dialects are used in the prefecture today. Many of them are grouped with the Kansai dialect, and include the Tajima, Izumo, Unpaku, Mamasaka, and Bichū dialects.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Was there a little time between the invention of language and the coming of true and false?”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Our goal as a parent is to give life to our children’s learning—to instruct, to teach, to help them develop self-discipline—an ordering of the self from the inside, not imposition from the outside. Any technique that does not give life to a child’s learning and leave a child’s dignity intact cannot be called discipline—it is punishment, no matter what language it is clothed in.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“Language is an archeological vehicle ... the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history.”
—Russell Hoban (b. 1925)
