Through the studies of the speech-sounds of Yoˇ-Ju dialect I confirmed the universal principle, that is the changes of speech-sounds are caused by not only the syntagmatic relations of morphemes, but also the innate factors of the sisters of the speech-sounds.
The specification of Yoˇ- Judialect are as below :
(1) The phenomenon of Umlaut is found widely in many words of noun and verb regardless of Korean native words or sino-Korean words.
(2) The universal phenomenon in non-standard dialects, palatalization, is universal also in Yoˇ-Ju dialect, And many unnecessary habitual words or speech-sounds are inserted in the grammatical elements.
(3) The trend change /∂/ to /□/ in the first syllable is often found in Yoˇ-Ju dialect.
(4) In postpositions and endings "-ko" "-to" "-lo" are realized "-ku" "-tu" "-lu" respectively.
(5) The conjugational ending "-yo" of the standard dialect is realized "-yu" in Yoˇ Ju dialect, and the euphony vowel /+/ is realized /i/.
(6) The phenomenon change /ε/ to /a/ is quite often, and especially the sino-Korean /sεη/ (生) always changes to /saη/.
