"Hokkaido dialect"@en . . . . "The dialect or dialects of Hokkaido (\u5317\u6D77\u9053\u65B9\u8A00, Hokkaid\u014D-h\u014Dgen), commonly called Hokkaid\u014D-ben (\u5317\u6D77\u9053\u5F01), originate in relatively recent settlement from mainland Japan. The greater part of Hokkaid\u014D was settled from a mix of areas from the Meiji period on, especially from the T\u014Dhoku and Hokuriku regions, so various Japanese dialects mixed together on Hokkaid\u014D.The relationship of Hokkaid\u014D dialect to the rest of Japanese\u2014and whether there even is a coherent Hokkaid\u014D dialect\u2014are debated."@en . .
