Modern sound usage in various dialectsMost of the far northern dialects (Tōhoku dialects and Hokkaidō) and far southern dialects (notably Okinawan Japanese) and the Ryukyuan languages (the other Japonic languages) have also mostly merged the four sounds down to one sound. However, a few dialects, mainly around Shikoku and Kyushu in the southwest, have conserved the distinction between three or even all four sounds. In the current Tokyo dialect, on which the modern standard language is based, as well as in the widely spoken Kansai dialect, only two sounds are distinguished, as represented in the Hepburn (ji, ji, zu, zu) and Kunrei (zi, zi, zu, zu) romanization systems. Modern kana usageThe spelling differences between the four kana were retained well into the mid-20th century, long after the merger of the different sounds that they had represented. Two distinct morae remain in most mainland dialects, such as that of Tokyo. Shortly after the end of World War II, the discrepancy between kana usage and pronunciation was rectified as part of a general orthographic reform, the Gendai Kanazukai, or modern kana orthography. Under the new rules, only the two kana じ zi and ず zu are to be used, but two notable exceptions exist:
An exception was permitted for regions that pronounced the four kana as three or four distinct sounds. After a 1986 update to the Gendai Kanazukai, the exception was replaced with a statement that the unified spelling was to be the one primarily used but that etymologically-correct spellings were still permitted. Modern regional variantsThe following table shows some of the different realizations and mergers of the Yotsugana characters throughout Japan:
