In the standard Japanese, sentences often end with -shite(i)ru when you say "I'm doing this." In Kobe-ben, however, this form changes into -shitoh, which is seldom used in Osaka. This is the most striking difference between the two dialects. Kobe-ben is similar to the dialect spoken in former Harima Province to the west of Kobe.

Kobe's cityscape looks like this. Enjoy!
