	Ryukyuans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ryukyuan people (Japanese: 琉球民族, of which Okinawans, Miyako people, and Yaeyama people are subgroups), are the indigenous people of the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan, located between the islands of Kyushu and Taiwan.
		The Ryukyuan islands were unified by the Ryukyuan Kingdom in the 12th century.
		In the early 17th century, however, the Ryukyuan Kingdom was conquered by the Satsuma-han of Kyushu.

		Ryukyuan people (of which Okinawans are a subgroup, Japanese: 琉球民族) are the indigenous people of the Ryukyus.
		In recent years, the Ryukyuans have been experiencing a rise in independence movement, due to ongoing discrimination by mainland Japanese people and continuing problems surrounding the presence of U.S. military forces.
		Despite the lack of consensus amongst the Ryukyuans, the inhabitants of the Okinawa Prefecture of Japan, they are in fact conscious of their ethnic identity as Uchinanchu (people of Uchinau, the Ryukyu name for Okinawa), as opposed to Yamatunchus, (mainland Japanese people).

	Results in
		In the admixture model Ryukyuans living in the Okinawa Islands, the southwestern islands of Japan, are considered relatively pure descendants of the Jomon and of the Ainu living on Hokkaido, the northernmost island.
		In the present study we investigated the polymorphisms of the HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 loci in a population sample of Ryukyuans.
		We found that the Ryukyuans are significantly different from the Ainu in a comparison of genetic affinities between Ryukyuans and other East Asian populations based on HLA genes and haplotypes.
