In Kyo language, honorific language and euphemistic expressions are frequently used in order to make the tone of conversation euphonic and polite avoiding any offending expression as much as possible, but it often happens to induce ironic effects or cynicism and make people who do not correctly understand Kyo language feel some difficulty in communication.
敬語や婉曲表現を多用し、柔らかく丁寧な口調でなるべく会話に角が立たない言い回しをするが、それが皮肉となるケースも多く、京言葉を解せない人々がコミュニケーションをとりにくい、と感じることもある。
