Yes! The people who live in Nagasaki prefecture on Kyushu where my wife is from have a recognizable tongue. Certain unique words are added to everyday speech and people from Tokyo will say it's a rather charming dialect.

Now the southern-most province of Kyushu island they speak the Kagoshima dialect which is hard for ordinary Japanese to follow.
