North Chungcheong

talk

As with mostly rural areas, things tend to move a little slower here. The local dialect is a mirror of how the rest of the country would characterize the Chungcheong people - forthright, gentle and more laid back. Their speech is deliberate; sounds tend to be drawn out making you lean in and listen more carefully. One way you will immediately recognize a typical Chungcheong dialect is the person will end their sentences with a "yoo" when using jondae mal instead of the standard "yeo".
