The Umpaku dialect (雲伯方言, Unpaku hōgen) is a group of Japanese dialects spoken in central San'in. The name Unpaku (雲伯) is constructed by extracting a representative kanji from Izumo (出雲) and Hōki (伯耆), the names of former provinces of this region.
The Umpaku dialects are:
- Izumo dialect (eastern Shimane Prefecture, formerly known as Izumo Province)
- Yonago dialect (western Tottori Prefecture centered on Yonago)
- Oki dialect (Oki islands of Shimane Prefecture)
