@SandTiger42 都城 (MIYAKO-no-JYO) was the original birth place of the SATSUMA-clan...so their accent is generally understood as part of KAGOSHIMA dialect. If you go up further north in Miyazaki prefecture, they have a completely different accent from MIYAKO-no-JYO.

@larryhanya You're thinking in Standard Japanese. I sometimes get confused with pitch accent of Standard Japanese too because I'm from the Kansai region. And I don't think you fully understood the meaning behind the "Southern Kyushu" reference. Kyushu for historical reasons has 3 large dialect groups, which is 『筑肥』 (筑前・筑後・肥前・肥後)、『豊日』（豊前・豊後・日向）、and 『薩隅』（薩摩・大隅）. Obviously, the name KYUSHU is referring to those 9 old provinces. In principle, KYUSHU dialects follow Western Japanese or KANSAI dialect. However, the Southern Kyushu dialect is the most uniquely different one. 95% of Japanese native speakers will not be able to follow a full KAGOSHIMA dialect. We're talking about people who pronounce 西郷殿 (or SAIGO-DONO in standard Japanese) as "SEGO-DON."
