	Okinawan language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Okinawan (Okinawan: Ucinaːguci) is a Ryukyuan language spoken in Japan on the southern island of Okinawa, as well as the surrounding islands of Kerama, Kume-jima, Tonaki, Aguni, and a number of smaller islands located to the east of the main island of Okinawa.
		The Shuri dialect was standardized during the era of the Ryukyuan Kingdom, during the reign of King Sho Shin (1477-1526).
		All of the songs and poems in the language from that era are written in the Shuri dialect.

	Ryukyuan languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		The Ryukyuan languages are spoken in the Ryukyu islands and make up a subfamily of the Japonic family.
		Since Amami, Miyako, Yaeyama, and Yonaguni are less urbanised than the Okinawan mainland, their languages are not declining as quickly as that of Okinawa proper, and children continue to be brought up in these languages.
		With Ryukyuan languages, the distinction is not quite as clear as it is for former "dialects" such as Korean and Palauan.

	Encyclopedia
		The Japonic languages are a language family believed to descend from a common language known as Proto-Japonic.
		Another theory relates the Japonic languages to modern Korean based primarily on near-identical grammar, but there is scarce lexical similarity between the two; supporters of the Fuyu languages theory generally do not include modern Korean as part of that family.
		In the wake of these theories, some argue that the similarity between all these languages is merely a Sprachbund, and that the attested similarities between some or all of these languages are simply the result of their cultures being close geographic neighbors on the Asian mainland over the course of millennia.

		My native language continued to be ignored until I was in my 7th year, and then it was suddenly decided that we would be taught to read and write in Gaelic and have 'Gaelic' as a subject only (poerty, reading, writing).
		Fortunately for me, I lived in a place where Gaelic was the language we reverted to in the playground and that which was spoken in the home and the community, I was able to retain it as a first language, and to read it and write it.
		It's a language of literature and history...not commerce and it will _never_ be a major language again...it's a language on life support and the fact that one _has_ to be bi-lingual in both it and English to survive in the modern world only proves that out.

		The comparative method, a linguistic method for scientifically comparing languages and reconstructing a hypothetical "ancestor language" from which the present-day languages evolved, has proven beyond a doubt that the languages of the Ryūkyū Archipelago, including Okinawan, are genetically related to the Japanese language.
		The Ryūkyūan languages may all be grouped together to form one of the main branches of the Japonic language family; the other main branch is comprised of the various Japanese dialects.
		It was the official language used in conversation by the aristocratic class of Shuri castle.
