The Kanagawa dialect (Japanese: 神奈川方言 kanagawa-ken hōgen) is the term used to describe the Japanese dialects spoken in Kanagawa Prefecture. As there is no single unified dialect throughout the prefecture, it is a collective term, with some of the regional dialects spoken including: the Sōshū dialect (used for areas that were formerly part of Sagami Province), the Yokohama dialect, the Hadano dialect and Shōnan dialect, among others.
