Anzaki dialect

The Anzaki dialect [劲红丞言; あんざき・じょうげん] is a vernacular spoken throughout the majority of Arami Prefecture in northern Kanton. It is markedly different from its sister dialect, the Korosa variant, which is spoken only in the urban centres of Anzaki and Aoyama. 
Once a former territory of the Daimi clan, the northern half of Arami Prefecture has a much stronger link to east-coast dialects. There are three sub-dialects under the Anzaki umbrella, all of which are based in different geographical locations:
* Zō'anzaki dialect, in the far north
* Korozaki dialect, in the central region
* Ki'anzaki dialect, in the south
Of these, the Zō'anzaki dialect has the most speakers and is the most individually distinct, sometimes being classified separately and thus narrowing the definition of the 'Anzaki dialect' to just the Kizaki and Korozaki types. Whilst being fundamentally Anzaki in most aspects, frequent contact with the Honnan region as a result of shipping from Umure Bay has left elements of the Funagi and Honban dialects in its vocabulary especially.
