Many Korean dialects traditionally had a four-way division in words for shrimp (freshwater/marine, large/small). Some surveys are inexact on this matter.
This table is an amalgamation of surveys of speakers mostly born before 1950 and may not reflect the language of younger speakers, which has lexically converged towards the standard Seoul dialect in both North and South Koreas.
