경상어
Korean dialect spoken in the Gyeongsang region.

This dialect is characterized by merging of [i]ae[/i] and [i]e[/i], as well as [i]eu[/i] and [i]eo[/i], plus dropping of [i]w[/i] and [i]y[/i] (/j/) after consonants. Southern Gyeongsang also lacks the "tense" fortis consonant [i]ss[/i] of Standard Korean; speakers will instead substitute it with a "lax" [i]s[/i].

Southern Gyeongsang (especially the Busan variant) is frequently used in translations and fanworks to adapt Japanese [[Kansaiben]] (analogous to use of Southern American English in English translations and fanworks). Japanese characters who speak Kansai dialect are frequently depicted speaking Busan dialect in Korean translations and fancomics.
