Traffic safety slogans that compare three dialects in Aomori Prefecture are currently attracting attention online.

The topic is gathered in a tweet posted by Twitter account Sugi (@ke_nek) on February 5th, "If you compare the three dialects of Aomori, you can understand the meaning of Tsugaru dialect well" (original mama). , Introducing the traffic safety slogan written in three dialects published in the "Aomori Prefecture Safe Driving Guidebook" (published by the Aomori Prefecture Traffic Safety Association) that I got when I renewed my driver's license.

The three traffic safety slogans are "Dasukeyo, if you go out at night, a reflector (Nambu dialect, so if you go out at night, attach a reflector)" and "Wait for something that might be a mess (Shimokita). Please have a feeling that it may be even a little with a valve) "" It's a slogan, it's a spring, it's a slogan, it's a night, it's a slogan, it's a little liquor. , That's not the case, that's no good) ".

There are three regional divisions in Aomori prefecture, and each area has dialects called Tsugaru dialect, Nambu dialect, and Shimokita dialect. Mr. Sugi is from Shimokita and currently lives in the southern area. He often visits the Tsugaru area for sightseeing, but smiles, saying, "It's interesting that there is such a difference in language within the prefecture when it is written again, and I still don't understand why it becomes such a character."

The tweets received over 17,000 retours and over 38,000 likes. There were comments such as "no longer a spell" and "too difficult", and there were many reactions from people in other prefectures that they could not understand only the Tsugaru dialect. Mr. Sugi says, "Tsugaru and Nanbu have an image of fighting, but it is the result of valuing each other's words."

According to a person in charge of the Aomori Prefectural Police Public Relations Division, the slogan is a slogan using a dialect recruited from police officers and prefectural police officers in 2018 (Heisei 30) in order to make the citizens of the prefecture familiar and easy to understand. Out of the 782 entries, excellent works and honorable mentions are selected by category such as "special fraud prevention" and "recruitment public relations" and are still posted on the website. The three slogans in the guidebook have been selected as honorable mentions.

The person in charge said, "I heard that there were some staff members who applied for more than one person at that time. The work can be used for public relations activities in each section, and it is posted in guidebooks or business cards like this time. There seems to be some staff members who do it. "
