Is this a different accent than Tokyo's?


A friend of mine wrote：

But aparently it should be written as:

> 誘いていないんか。

I think this is not a typo because he wrote two different sentences, both with
`え` instead of `い`. Is this wrong or just a local difference.




Nothing is either wrong or dialectal about 「[誘]{さそ}えていないんだ。」. It sounds 100%
natural and it would be said all over the country.

It is your 「誘 **い** ていないんか。」 that is incorrect. There is no such conjugation
as 「誘いて」 in standard Japanese. The correct form is 「誘って」 for the plain and
「誘えて」 for the potential.
