The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a Japanese dialect spoken in western Aomori Prefecture.

October 23 is the anniversary of the death of Takagi Kyozo, a famous poet who wrote in the Tsugaru dialect.
In Tsuruta, there is an annual summer Script error: No such module "Nihongo". in which teams of foreigners create short skits or performances, usually humorous, using the dialect. In June 2009, a short segment featuring the competition was broadcast nationally on NHK.
