Sociolinguistic Artifacts

This is a commercial made to promote the city of Kobayashi in Miyazaki prefecture (southern Japan). The main character claims he's from France, but is revealed to actually be speaking in the Nishimoro dialect instead of French (hence why the French subtitles transcribes Nishimoro). This dialect, along with Aomori Prefecture's Tsugaru dialect, are incomprehensible by the average Japanese speaker and can be mistaken for Korean or French. However the Nishimoro dialect is still Japanese, unlike the Ryuukyuuan languages (ethnic Okinawa) or Ainu (ethnic Hokkaido).
