Wee, looks like fun. I'll look at it more closely when I'm at my own computer which reads Japanese font

[xenium]

my goal for today is to understand enough about Okinawa-ben to understand a basic dialogue if I concentrate hard enough... *dies*

ooh thanks for this, i've always wondered about the kyoto dialect since i want to teach english there. I wouldn't mind learning a bit of it.

By the way, "おけりゃれ" (okeryare) isn't a Kagoshima expression, but rather a Nagano expression. Look carefully at the website you provided. (http://www.osumi.or.jp/sakata/hougen/kouryu.htm) I'm also not sure about either すまん or こんちは; but I do know that こんちゃらごわす and すんもはん are Kagoshima-ben.
