In this paper, I will describe the accent systems of the Sacheon and Sancheong dialects of Korean located in Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. I analyze the Sacheon dialect as a four-pattern accent system, in which one accent-kernel and three word-tones are distinguished, and the Sancheong dialect as a three-pattern accent system, in which one accent-kernel and two word-tones are distinguished. Both dialects are N-pattern accent systems, where both accent-kernel and word-tone coexist within the accent system of the noun. In this regard, these N-pattern accent systems are different from the N-pattern accent systems described by Uwano Zendo (or from the word-tone languages described by Hayata Teruhiro).
