This paper is concerned with the tone of loanwords in Kagoshima dialect. Kagoshima dialect has a two-pattern tone system. Type-A is a falling type tone, and Type-B is a rising type tone. Most of loanwords are pronounced Type-A in Kagoshima, but for the young people, the number of Type-B loanwords has been increasing. This suggests that the young people in Kagoshima are affected by the Tokyo accent which contains many level tone loanwords.
