Japanese pitch accent is a feature of the Japanese language that distinguishes words by accenting particular morae in most Japanese dialects. The nature and location of the accent for a given word may vary between dialects. For instance, the word for "now" is in the Tokyo dialect, with the accent on the first mora , but in the Kansai dialect it is. A final or is often devoiced to or after a downstep and an unvoiced consonant.
