This paper is an entirely revised version of the author's article“The Geographical Distribution of Japanese Accents”in S. A. Wurm and Shiro Hattori (1983). The geographical distribution is made more accurate, and his hypothetical view on the genealogical relationships among Japanese accents is expounded this time.<br>In part (1), the following three accent types are treated: Ibuki-jima dialect (1/2/3/4/5), Manabe type dialects (1•5/2/3/4) and Sanuki type dialects (1•3/2/4/5). After their accentual systems and the geographical dis-tribution are described, proto-Manabe accent and proto-Sanuki accent are reconstructed as table 2 (p. 229) and table 25 (p. 244), respectively. Ibuki-jima is the only dialect that preserves all the oppositions supposed to have existed in the protolanguage of all dialects, but the tonetic substances (tone values) are considered to have changed somewhat from the proto-accent.
