| Research Abstract |
In old Japanese research, even when mother tongue(dialect) contacts the standard language or the other dialects in one person, it has been supposed that it is an accent what cannot be affected most easily. However, it turned out that the accent is also a changeable existence at the place where everyday connection called the school spot is strong, and it is easy to be subject to the influence of a leading dialect in the area where a different system contacts.Although there was no record of generating, a possibility of the accent system which has probably continued for hundreds years having progressed towards disappearance as a result of dialect contact, and dying became clear.
