So Kansai is the... less standard dialect? I know this guy who went to school in Japan for a year last year (so jealous but I'll live) and he was telling me about how he likes one of the dialects better than standard Japanese and that he speaks that. He said that while he was there he would get looks like "who is this foreigner walking around in Tokyo and speaking like a (southerner i think)"

Is Kansai likely what he was talking about?
