The Seoul dialect is the basis of the standard dialect of Korean in South Korea. It is spoken in the Seoul National Capital Area, which includes Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi.

Among female speakers, the postpositions -ro (-로) "to" and -go (-고) "and" and their derivatives tend to be pronounced -ru (-루) and -gu (-구).

Young Seoul dialect speakers tend to end interrogative sentences (questions) with -nya? (-냐), which is common in Jeolla dialect. The informal ending -eo? (-어) is also used quite commonly in Seoul dialect questions.
