Abstract
Kesenese, the dialect of the Kesen district, Iwate prefecture, did not have its own writing system. The author has established its orthography and grammar and published its dictionary. This orthography has formed the basis for speeches, poems, music, theatrical performances, and even the publication of the Gospels translated from the original Greek texts into Kesenese . These trials contribute to the development of a new cultural era in our dialect speaking society.
