Editing Kansai dialect (section)

=== Mie ===
The dialect in [[Mie Prefecture]], sometimes called '''Mie-ben''' ([[:ja:三重弁|三重弁]]), is made up of '''[[Ise Province|Ise]]-ben''' ([[:ja:伊勢弁|伊勢弁]]) spoken in mid-northern Mie, '''[[Shima Province|Shima]]-ben''' ([[:ja:志摩弁|志摩弁]]) spoken in southeastern Mie and '''[[Iga Province|Iga]]-ben''' ([[:ja:伊賀弁|伊賀弁]]) spoken in western Mie. Ise-ben is famous for a sentence final particle ''ni'' as well as ''de''. Shima-ben is close to Ise-ben, but its vocabulary includes many archaic words. Iga-ben has a unique request expression ''-te daako'' instead of standard ''-te kudasai''.

They use the normal Kansai accent and basic grammar, but some of the vocabulary is common to the [[Nagoya dialect]]. For example, instead of -''te haru'' (respectful suffix), they have the Nagoya-style -''te mieru''. Conjunctive particles ''de'' and ''monde'' "because" is widely used instead of ''sakai'' and ''yotte''. The similarity to Nagoya-ben becomes more pronounced in the northernmost parts of the prefecture; the dialect of [[Nagashima, Mie|Nagashima]] and [[Kisosaki, Mie|Kisosaki]], for instance, could be considered far closer to Nagoya-ben than to Ise-ben.

In and around [[Ise, Mie|Ise city]], some variations on typical Kansai vocabulary can be found, mostly used by older residents. For instance, the typical expression ''ōkini'' is sometimes pronounced ''ōkina'' in Ise. Near the [[Isuzu River]] and [[Ise Grand Shrine|Naikū shrine]], some old men use the first-person pronoun ''otai''.
