江戸弁 江戸言葉 下町言葉
A Japanese dialect spoken in Tokyo. Generally considered a working-class dialect and is heavily associated with certain "downtown" wards of Tokyo located on the eastern side. This dialect is sometimes also called the Shitamachi dialect ([i]Shitamachi-kotoba[/i], lit. "Downtown Speech".)

The stereotypical phrase associated with this dialect is "beranmee" (corruption of "beranbou"), roughly meaning "bloody fool" or "frickin' idiot". Edoben is thus also sometimes called the [i]beranmee-kuchou[/i], or the "Beranmee Accent". Another common phrase is "teyandee", i.e. "The [i]hell[/i] are ya sayin'?"

Other features of this dialect includes a lack of distinction between /shi/ and /hi/ (resulting in [i]shichi[/i] sounding like "hichi"), as well as "fronting" of /ju/ to /ji/ (this results in [i]juujutsu[/i] being pronounced like "jiu-jitsu"). The sounds of /ai ae ie oi/ also tends to be converted into a long /e/ sound, resulting in [i]taihen[/i] and [i]sugoi[/i] being pronounced as "teehen" and "sugee".

Characters of the "edokko" archetype (Rowdy Child of Edo/Tokyo) tend to speak with a distinctive Edoben accent. 

Edoben is usually adapted into a colloquial-sounding English in translations, with greater emphasis on use of contractions and other colloquialisms. On Danbooru, [i]heavier[/i] accents of Edoben are sometimes adapted into "Cockney English":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockney].
