While many characters speak Kamigata dialects in Edo rakugo (e.g. 'A Pair of Sake Bottles,' 'Matsu the Idiot,' 'On the Ferry Boat' and 'Gion-e' - ceremony for commemorating the dead in Gion), few characters in Kamigata rakugo speak the Tokyo dialect.
江戸落語では上方の言葉を話す人物が多く出るが(例「御神酒徳利」「金明竹」「三十石」「祇園会」）、上方落語では江戸言葉はあまり出ない。
