except standard language (seoul)
every region in south korea have dialects.

One thing I'd like to point out, many people mistake that relation between the Seoul dialect(서울말씨) and the standard language(표준어) is the same. Seoul also has a dialect called ' 서울말 / 서울말씨 '. Even native Seoulites are not well aware of this fact.

@Kr_khj What is the difference between dialects? Is it a pronunciation, a way of writing, or what? I still don’t entirely understand.

@M_Florio difference in pronunciation, each word, how to end up the sentence, accent, and etc.
