Abstract
The Japanese territory, constituted by several mountainous islands, shows a wide variety of dialects, often unintelligible to other inhabitants of the country. Hoping to solve the dearth of material describing the variety of dialects found in Japan that may be useful to students of different universitylevel Japanese language courses in activity in Brazil, the following pages describe briefly some of the different aspects found among Japanese dialects in the archipelago. After the introduction of the concept of dialect, standard language, common language, and what the dialect divisions in Japan are, there is an explanation concerning language variation at the phonetic, phonological, and morphosyntactic levels of the language, as well as a sample of the Tsugaru and Tosa dialects.
