AKA Kyungsang Dialects

Want to learn Daegu Satoori (North Gyeongsangdo)? What about Busan Satoori (South Gyeongsangdo)? Or at least want to understand them?

At least I do. Every since I heard BTS’s Satoori Rap I knew I wanted to learn Daegu satoori (anyone else’s bias Yoongi?? lmao yall can hmu on my kpop blog @mint-suga).

So for several hours yesterday because I’m an obsessive linguistics nerd I scoured the internet for articles on Gyeongsang satoori and here is the fruit of my labor.

If you don’t know the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), you probably will need an interactive IPA chart. When you see some funny-looking symbols that are said to correspond to sounds in the articles, you can just go here and see what the symbols sound like.

All right, so below are all the articles I’ve found on Gyeongsang Satoori that seem useful for learning its dialects:
