Japanese dialects
The Hichiku dialect (肥筑方言 "Hichiku hōgen") is a group of the Japanese dialects spoken in western Kyushu. The name "Hichiku" (肥筑) is constructed by extracting a representative kanji from "Hizen" (肥前), "Higo" (肥後), "Chikuzen" (筑前) and "Chikugo" (筑後), names of old provinces in there.
