The dialect of Yoronisland in Kagoshima prefecturehas complicated expressions for the potential form. It is a rare feature and can't be found in other dialects. Forms of expression in Yoron can change depending on the grammatical personof performingsubject. However, there have been fewstudies on the dialect,of Yoron, the detailed expression for the potential form hasn't been understood sufficiently. Therefore, in this paper I report the result of investigation on dialect in Yoron island and its analysis. Furthermore, I explore the system of the potential form in order to understand the division of dialectal use. As the result of the analysis, I propose that Yoron people might regard the grammatical person of performing subject as important when the form of use for dialect is decided. In the case of first person, Yoron people use the "Nayun" series in the affirmative form for the potential form of the kind of passionand ability. And they use the "Ryun" series in the potential form for inner and outer conditions. In the negative form, they all use the "Raji" series regardless of the kind of potential form. On the other hand, except for the first person as subject, in the affirmative form they all use the "Nayun" series, in the negative form they use the "Naraji" series regardless of the kind of potentiality.
