		The Ryukyuan languages (琉球語) are a subgroup of the Japonic family, spoken in the Ryukyu Islands off Japan.

		Nowadays, there are a little over 1 million native speakers of Ryukyuan languages left, but many of them are elderly (some of them extremely so, due to the Ryukyuan tendency to live past 90).

	Japonic languages
		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.

		Given that the lexicon only records unpredictable, distinctive information, the language learner is forced to posit a rule (or constraint ranking in Optimality Theory (OT)) that will assign (or check) an accent to long vowel words.
		Languages in which accent is located in a two-syllable window at the right edge of the word are quite common.
		One might conclude that the absence of noun stems ending in /t/ reflects an accident of the history of the language that is of no synchronic linguistic significance.

		Whether Pittman or Gregg, shorthand is an opaque language inaccessible to most people yet women were expected to master its forms for the purpose of conveying male communications.
		Overlain on the field of writing are several forms built from accumulated layers of tape bands of different colors and increasingly greater lengths that form a “hieroglyph” of her own invention that denotes a joyous, striding female figure.
		Smith engages with the intricacies of language and works with text that while sharing some similarity with shorthand clearly engages with alternative readings that are not fixed but rather redefine the nature of language in their multivalent significance.

		The findings suggest that, rather than starting with a folk model of what constitutes "proper" or "appropriate" speech, the locus of our sociolinguistic investigations should be natural conversations, in which participants are seen to draw from a repertoire of linguistic forms to index a variety of social personas, scripts, and meanings.
		Previous studies of Japanese language and gender have focused mainly on the differences between male and female speech patterns or "languages" and paid little attention to category-internal variability.
		(1992) for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the question of whether speakers of a language can comply with conventions (especially as defined by an outsider) that do not "make sense" within their frame of reference.
