How to Speak Jeju Dialect (제주 사투리) | Korean Dialect Special 

OMG 😲 As a native Korean, I didn't even know any Jeju words or grammar. Wow!!! You know Jeju dialect more than Koreans do! 👍👍👍

My Korean family is from Jeju. My grandfather was born in Hawaii though in 1917. He learned Korean from his dad who came from Jeju, and who I assume spoke a version of Jeju dialect which pre-dated Japanese occupation. I actually didn't even know my grandfather spoke Korean until my 20s in 2003 when I heard him speak to a Korean shop owner in San Francisco. The shop owner was laughing because I think she had difficulty understanding him and probably, to her, he sounded like a korean person from a super-obscure, old-timey era.

I don't want the Jeju dialect to die! It's so beautiful!ㅠㅠ

As somebody of Jeju descent, this video was really good~! 🤗 Another thing, while the language is almost dead on Jeju-do, the language is still a part of regular, daily life in the Tsuruhashi and Tennoji neighbourhoods in east Osaka. Those two neighbourhoods are home to 125,000 residents of Jeju ancestry due to the colonial period, and therefore the Jeju language is still widely used (in conversation, on street signs) amongst my community in east Osaka. This form of the language is considered the only surviving “pure” version of Jeju language left, since the dialect on Jeju-do itself has been heavily diluted by standard Korean. But alas, I wanted to thank you for providing a video bank of our disappearing language; it warms my heart and your knowledge is extremely impressive. 저 갑서양 from Osaka, Japan 😊🤗🤗

My wife was born in Jeju. Now a days young generation in Jeju speak more standard Korean. Only old generation speak closer pure Jeju dialect.

So basically, Jeju kept their origin way of talking from the past. That dot "ao" or -씀 ending were used quite alot in daylie conversations in the long past in Korea.

This feels like when I learned standard German and then went to study in Austria lol. I thought my language skills were terrible but turns out their dialect was just really really different!

Billy be like: *”YOU MEAN YOU HABENT BECOME FLUENT IN ALL OF THE KOREAN DIALECTS AND SPOKEN TO SEJONG THE GREAT???”*

Im currently studying to become a linguist and I can already speak standard Korean so now I want to try and work on preserving the Jeju language. I hope it doesn’t die out and I’ve decided to make it one of my life goals to put effort into preserving the language and bringing more interest to it,, I really hope I can bring some light to this language and stop its extinction before its too late TvT

Super interesting! Very similar to Okinawa, which used to be the Ryukyu Kingdom before being assimilated by Japan. Native Okinawans spoke Uchinaa, which is a dying language that is being memorialized by a small handful of communities. Being half-Okinawan myself, it's fascinating to hear the differences and similarities between Uchinaa and Japanese, which seems akin to the Jeju dialect differences from Korean that you just highlighted for us. 고마워!

I'm so relieved you included that disclaimer at the end. I'm moving to Jeju and have spent weeks learning standard Korean. Phew!

i kept replaying the beginning being like "omg my listening has gotten even worse" before I realized the subject of the video lol

"where are you going?" "Why do you care?" haha

I am a Kyopo Korean and I got to say i am so impressed. you are way more Korean than me 🤣🤣🤣. Although I can speak Spanish and Tagolog fluently, lol makes me feel special as foreigner haha. As far as my Korean goes I am still studying.

I think my brain just exploded hearing what you said at the beginning! 🤯😅 “Plethora” (!!!) of information about the history of the Jeju dialect/language and linguistic features! I’m imagining how much you must have researched to teach this! 한국어 방언학 수업 듣는 것 같았어요! 🙌🏻

제주도 사람인데, 영어로 제주도 사투리 설명하는 거 처음 봐서 신기하네요!! ㅋㅋ 2:48 boy = 소나이

Wow.... I laughed out loud but at thr same time I was awed to hear your Jeju dialect🤣🤣 You are soooo KOREAN!!!! Definitely more than just being Koreanized...!💓

awesome video!! thank you. my mom is from jejudo and i spent 1st and 2nd grade there. brings back lots of great memories. thanks!!

I enjoy your videos so so much. thank you for your hard work 🙏🏼

Jeju language is too difficult even for Koreans. I feel like I'm listening to a foreign language. You had a hard time researching and uploading videos of Jeju dialect, which is difficult for even Koreans.Thank you for telling me about the beautiful Jeju. The text may not be smooth because you used a translator.

세상에 너무너무 재밌어요! 세상에 정보도 자세하게 알려주시고, 사진 하나나 다 넣고! 인형도 컨셉도 너무 딱 들어가네요! 너무 부럽습니다!!!!!!

I'm learning korean for a while and I have been to Jeju-do last year. That information is completely new for me. Now I'm kinda motivated to learn it too. 😅

I've always wanted to visit Jeju but it looks like I should study harder in advance... Thanks for the video! I was just looking for information on the Jeju dialect and your notification popped up :)

YES! Thank you so much for this video 💕

I'm from jeju and I speak this dialect pretty thick since I was raised in rural area

Great vid! Looks better than previous vids.

I LOVEEEE THIS VIDEO!!! Please do an individual one for each main satoori 🙏🙏🙏

i really hope there's interventions to preserve the jeju dialect, even if it's only digitally, in a way that it exists as a resource online to learn from.... it's a really fascinating dialect and i'm really interested in learning more about it

This is really interesting, I liked the skit in the beginning haha. thank you Billy!

Omg I looove the dialect videos!!

This is AWESOME! Thank you! My hub has a Masters in Korean Language from Yonsei University and even he has a terribly difficult time understanding pure Jeju - but he LOVES it and takes notes like mad when there. He had to learn Yiddish before we got married (we're a leave-your-English-at-the-front-door Yiddish-only household), and he said he had an easier time speaking Yiddish in Germany than he did listening to Jeju speakers on Jeju. Hopefully Jeju can be strengthened to keep existing for many more generations. Oh... Billy... one thing about Jeju you forgot to mention... the dried radishes from Jeju make THE best Mumallaengi-Muchim!

fun fact: jeju and korean diverged from middle korean in different directions but there is a theory that jeju island already had its own language deriving from proto-koreanic so if thats true then the mainlanders come and introduce their language to jeju (proto-koreanic) they develop it into their own language(tamna) then mainlanders come and introduce their language again(middle korean) drive the language spoken there to extinction and develop their own language again(jeju) then mainlanders come and introduce their language(modern korean) and are now in the hopefully unsuccessful process of driving the language into extinction yet again, history is married to that replay button

Im korean from mainland lol your video is very informative for me! Thanks! And keep it ip 👏🏼👍🏼

wow thanks for the good video!

Anyone interested in Jeju history should read about the Jeju uprising. Considered by some to be the beginning of the Korean war.

my girlfriend is from jeju island, but living on europe, i just learned some words and she was really surprised when i spoke ahahah thank you

This video is perfect! You should release a book about Jeju and Jeju dialect, you know a lot about it and i would definitely purchase :D

omg what that's so fascinating

As a korean myself, i do not know about this... I am from Busan (부산) . We also have dialect but i think it is more closer in standard korean. So I subscbribed now and hit the notification bell. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I went to Jeju this January!!

I found this dialect to be far more interesting than standard Korean, lol! However, I don't think I would master it either due to those subtle consonantal phonemes who sound just the same to my foreign years, if Jeju dialect also has them. It does sound to me as a proper language though! Thank you so much for this interesting vid!

This video is so good and pretty well made, plus it’s funny and quite fun to watch actually I watched it multiple times while ago and I’m back again now I see that I forgot to like it 😅 and i’m back again specially to learn about Arae-a 4:12

thank you for the video^^ that way i could not only learn more about the lost vowel but also about jeju island=)

My favorite

I figured Jeolla-do is the most unique. Almost sounds like Korean and Thai mixed together

My mom is from Jejudo, and now I'm questioning my own Korean. I don't think my mom differentiated for me when she was speaking standard korean or jeju!

I wish Jeju Dialect was thick and thriving. It would be so cool/fun

My mom could speak the jeju dialect when she was younger, but she forget it entirely when she moved to seoul

나는 왜 외국인이 제주 방언 가르치는걸 보고 있는가...

As an Indonesian, this doesn't surprise me, because in our country every region has its own regional language. It has a different dialect even though it's in the same area

First time I realized they have different politeness levels😭I didn’t understand why I learned the same word more times

JEJU dialect has a lot of old Korean language.

Kdrama Warm and Cozy brought me here 🥰🥰

They must preserve their dialect by preserving it in text or in written communication or in radio communication just like in the Philippines. How sad it is called a "dying dialect".

I am going to jejusi to work after 1 month. And what I learned was standard Korean. I am afraid now about communication. I didn't know there would be so much difference 😭

number 3 in jeju language , 싯 !!!

5:45 갔노라, 봤노라, 왔노라, 골랐노라 -카이사르방

So if this dialect is fading away in Jeju... That's pretty sad... It would be good for it to be preserved.

How do you even type the dot vowel with the Google Keyboard? The Korean keyboard there doesn't have it.

3:48 😂😂😂😂😂 also the frustration part 3:52

푸른 거탑 제주도 장면이네. ㅋㅋ

Ohhh so the 돌 하르방 means the Rock Grandpa XD ㅋㅋㅋ

Would they use polite form for “you” in a similar way to Você in Brazilian Portuguese?

I love the bear

Oh wow. well let me learn modern korean cause Jeju is a whole other language to me

Could make a video about Jeju alphabet and how to form all Jeju tenses?

고맙수다양 i am screaming

so I'm trying to learn Korean and I'm always with my boyfriend and his family and friends who are all from Jeju island and they speak the dialect....so it's gonna be harder to learn i feel

Hmm is seungri's song GG BE = 지집아이?

삼촌 반갑습니다 안녕하세요 반갑수다 안녕하세요 안녕 하수다 한국 사람보다 제주도 말 사투리 더 잘 쓰는 남자

육진 방언도 할수 있어요?

빌리 삼춘 제라지게 소개해줭 고맙수다예 02:08 : 야이 뭐랜 고람시니? (yai, mwolaen go lam sini?) 02:30 : 할망 (Goddess) 하르방 (god), In the area where I live, the influence of shamanism and totemism is strong In some cases, the Jeju language of grandmothers and grandfathers means God. 02:45 : 호꼼은 호끔, 호썰 이라기 보단 호쏠 이라고 발음하기도합니다. 03:07 : 아주 여러가지 말이 있습니다. 무신거 (mu sin geo, What is it) 뭐랜 (mwo laen , what the hell) 뭐 (mwo, What or so) 뭐라 (mwo la, what or when nothing or What the... or Bloody hell) 뭐랜고람샤 (mwo laen go lam sya, what or WTF) 뭐랜햄수과 (mwo laen haem su gwa, "What did you say") 뭐꽈 (mwo kkwa , "what the....") 등등.. 03:19 : 자칫하면 지꺼지다는 욕이 됄수있습니다. 비꼬는 의미로 많이 사용합니다. Maybe, "지꺼지다는" can be a swear word. Often used in a sarcastic sense. 03:33 : 수고하셨습니다, 폭삭 속았수다. People from the Korean Peninsula are misunderstood. Korean Peninsula "속았습니다" = i was deceived. Jeju Korean "속았습니다" = "Thank you" or "thank you for your effort." 06:55 : "삼춘" It is a very ambiguous word used for men and women. Even, it is a magic word that can be used for grandmothers and grandfathers who are older than you. 07:19 : This word can lead to misunderstanding when used by others. Be careful. 알앙무시거할티? = What's it got to do with me? 07:55 : nono, "반갑수다(Greetings)" , "훈저옵서 (Welcome)" , 안녕허시우꽈 (Hello) 08:50 : 뚜룸 ("ttulum") There is a very insulting word. 뚜룸 = asshole , 장뚜룸 = King of asshole, 장 = Leader or best or king "귓것" = Enough to say that this is an insult.

서청하다. Koreans do understand what it means. And yes just as Hawaiian call big island and US state is mainland just like Aloha.

속아수다 ㅎㅎㅎ 🤣

This is hilarious hahahaha 🤣

For the native speakers here, can anyone compare the difference between standard Korean and Jeju dialect to an English-language equivalent? Just curious!

How did you learned korean and how long does it take for you?

Billy so can you speak in Jeju dialect ? Or it’s just to show us their pattern

Gi i??

양양양양

Your Jeju dialect sounds so cute❤️ I don't know any words of Jeju dialect even though I'm a Korean It's so difficult but you are saying Jeju dialect very well Are you from Jeju? 🤣🤣🤣

are the subject markers in korean like saying the in english

Cool

아 ~~~ 머리 아쁘다 앜ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ

Are Jeju people still using this ?

is it 서창하다 or 서창허다? the text said the former but i think you said the latter....maybe

살면서 외국인이 제주말 쓰는 건 첨보네

안녕하수다

I guess Jeju "dialect" is called a dialect due to political reasons just like how the Japanese refer to Ryukyuan language as a dialect of Japanese for political reasons. It's not a dialect linguistically. It's a separate Koreanic language, because it's 20-25% mutually intelligible with Standard Korean. The difference between Jeju language and Korean is comparable to the difference between Turkish and Tuvan.

Why is 탐라 pronounced like 탐나? 0:56

JEJU IS NOT A DIALECT ITS ACTUALLY DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.

I give up ☹️

I wonder why the Japanese Yamato Dynasty did not incorporate Jeju into its territories just like other islands like Iki, Tsushima, Goto and Oki despite the fact that their language was just like Japanese. Maybe it was not important for the Yamato Dynasty and the islanders at that time wanted to retain its independence. Thanks to Jeju being the southernmost island in Korea, it’s like Okinawa for Korean people. It’s a resort. If it were part of Japan, it would have been a desolate island just like other Japanese remote islands!

Good video but some more explanation about the 4/3 massacre and how the Korean government, with the US turning a blind eye, committed genocide and cultural genocide on Jeju (banning Jeju dialect much like Japan did with Korean during colonialism) would have been nice.

it is exactly a language and not a dialect

It's kinda sad that Jeju dialect is a dying language...

sorry but your vowel phonemes are so far way off :D your /ə/s are [ɔ]s as if u were talking korean, and your /ɨ/s are [ə]s :D

Jeju is an LANGUAGE not an dialect.
