Information About

Jeju Dialect




Another difference is the slightly different intonation of words. The Jeju dialect tends to use more stress on certain syllables.

One large difference is the lack of formality and deference to elders. For example, while a speaker of the Seoul Dialect might say ''annyeonghaseyo'' (“Hello”) to an older person, a speaker of the Jeju dialect would say ''ban-gapsio'' (“How do you do?”). To many mainlanders, a child saying this to an adult would be appalling, but on the islands, a more ‘egalitarian’ form of speech is used.
