	~~Kaipanese has~~ three ~~recognized~~ dialects, ~~those being Northern, Central~~, and ~~Southern~~.		The government of the Republic of Kaipa recognizes three distinct dialects: Standard, Southern, and Northern.

	~~Central~~ Kaipanese is ~~spoken~~ in ~~most of Daji province~~, ~~southern Seju province, Aoga province~~, and ~~northern Jado province~~, ~~and is also~~ the ~~standard~~ dialect of Kaipanese ~~as established by~~ the ~~government~~. It ~~also has~~ the ~~most colloquial loanwords from English~~.		'''Standard Kaipanese''' is most commonly used in teaching, broadcasts, and public speeches, based upon the dialect of Kaipanese spoken around the Port of Kaipa area. It is maintained by the Department of Education and Culture, and is spoken across Daji and Aoga Provinces, as well as northern Jado province.

	~~Northern~~ Kaipanese is spoken in ~~the extreme north of Daji~~ province and ~~northern Seju~~ province, ~~particularly on North Island~~ and ~~Stone Island~~. It ~~utilizes far fewer loanwords than the other two dialects~~.		'''Southern Kaipanese''', also known as '''Colloquial Kaipanese''' and '''Jadonha Kaipanese''', is a collection of three dialects (''Onranic Kaipanese'', ''Onkurian Kaipanese'', and ''Haruwian Kaipanese'') spoken in southern Jado province and across Onha province. It is recognized by the government as a singular official dialect, despite vocabulary differences between the three different dialects, and generally standardized to match Onranic Kaipanese. It is categorized by heavy loaning of local languages, particularly Onkurian and Braltsic, creating distinctions in pronunciation necessitating marks for onset NG and onset L.

	~~Southern~~ Kaipanese is spoken ~~in southern Jado province and Onha province~~. It ~~has fewer English loanwords~~, ~~but more Onkurian loan words~~ in ~~colloquial speech. Additionally~~, ~~some speakers may also make distinctions between initial N~~ and ~~an initial NG~~, ~~as well as initial R~~ and ~~an initial L, each denoted with voicing marks in Kaipazu~~.		'''Northern Kaipanese''', also known as '''Seju Kaipanese''', is a collection of five dialects (''Bayo Kaipanese'', ''Shiro Kaipanese'', ''Cassowary Kaipanese'', ''Keragera Kaipanese'', and ''Koipaso Kaipanese'') spoken across the Seju Isles. It is also recognized by the government as a singular official dialect, generally standardized to match Koipaso Kaipanese. It is categorized by variation in initial R, affrication of Z word-initially, affrication of C and J word-medially after dentals, and dropping of I after H.
