    • まあまあそれはほんまにその土地土地(とちとち)の、あの、歴史(れきし)がある言葉(ことば)やから、あえてそれを標準語(ひょうじゅんご)に 話(はな)せなだめだ (Grammar 3)、みたいのはないと思いますけどねえ。

  • They don’t have to be able to speak Standard, as Standard is historically not as important as dialects.
  • They don’t need to be able to speak Standard, as dialects are heritage languages rich in history.
  • They need to be able to speak Standard, as dialects are already ancient languages.
  • They should be able to speak Standard even though it is true that dialects are historically important.
