Kansai/Tokyo dialect?

Should it be Kantō/Tōkyo dialect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HPA (talk • contribs) 17:29, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat of accent

I don't understand what this sentence means:

"It had the effect of making many regional Japanese tongues into somewhat of accent though certain noticeable features still remain."

If I had to guess what the author of that sentence (presumably User:Vapour who made this edit) meant, I would paraphrase it as:

Use of the dialect card [OR: Meji era language policy] had the effect of reducing grammatical differences among Japanese regional dialects, though certain noticeable features remain, as do differences in accent.

The problem is (1) I'm not very confident in my guess, (2) I don't think the assertion is actually true, and (3) in an case, there is no reference cited to support the notion. Cnilep (talk) 02:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the sentence. I don't think there's any loss of information, and the paragraph reads better now. Cnilep (talk) 03:38, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
