The Gangwon dialect (Korean: 강원 방언) is spoken in South Korea's Gangwon Province and in North Korea's Kangwŏn Province. Although they are large provinces by area, relatively few people lived in the Gangwon Province. As a result, people living in the western side of Gangwon (Yeongseo) did not develop a highly distinctive dialect. However, the part of Gangwon that stretches on the eastern coast of Korea's Yeongdong region did develop a distinctive dialect. This is because the Taebaek Mountains bisect the Gangwon Province, and the people on eastern Gangwon are isolated from the high mountains.[1]
Distinguishing Features of the Gangwon Dialect:
1. ㅆ (ss) is pronounced as ㅅ (s).
2. The standard 아 (ah) sound is changed to 어 (eo) at the end of sentences.
3. Questions may end in 나 (na), -노 (no), -고 (go), -가 (ga).[2]
