Kesen (Kesen: ケセン語, Keseng̃ó; Japanese: ケセン語; Kesengo)is a self-declared independent language in Japan. Virtually identical to the Japanese Kesen dialect, Kesen was developed by local language activist and medical doctor Harutsugu Yamaura, who provided the language's orthography, dictionary, grammar, and pronunciation rules. Kesen uses two writing systems, the first based on the Latin alphabet, and the second on the Japanese writing system.

  • ケセン語 (ケセンご, 気仙語,氣仙語, keseng̃ó) とは医師の山浦玄嗣が岩手県気仙地方の方言を一箇の言語と見なして与えた名称である。仮名でなくラテン文字(ケセン式ローマ字)で書かれる正書法を持つ。2002年7月7日にNHK教育テレビの「こころの時代」という番組で採り上げられ、その名を社会に知らせた。当時気仙周辺で生活していた蝦夷の言葉の影響を受けた言語であり、発音体系が標準語とは大きく異なっている、と同番組では紹介されていた。現在、山浦がギリシア語の原典から訳した聖書が出版されている。
