Compiling dictionary of AIZU DIALECT

Found a LOT of websites, including a dictionary from Aizu Japanese to
standard Japanese. Compiling dictionary/glossary with English. Some
examples:

Grandpa/Grandma-- standard Japanese: "Ojiichan/obaachan." Aizu dialect:
"Ojincha/Obancha"

Example sentence: Let's buy a souvenir for Grandpa and Grandma.

Standard: Ojiichan to obaachan ni omiyage katteikou.

Aizu: Ojincha to obancha ni omiyagekattegube.

I LOVE this dialect!

You GOT to be kidding! :P Aizu-ben (and the nearby
dialects) are one of the most difficult dialects to
understand... I can hardly understand when they speak
in hyoujungo (the "official" Japanese). When they
start talking in Aizu-ben, I always go "huh?"...

And the pronunciation is very different from the
standard Japanese. The "Ojincha" actually is spoken
something like "odnch".

Ma, sou iu chigai mo appeshisa~ ^^

"I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body,and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to Death.
Nor known to Life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anyting.
So as I pray, unlimited blade works."
