	Yaeyama Islands travel guide - Wikitravel
		The Yaeyama Islands are the remotest and most southwestern part of Japan, closer to Taiwan than Okinawa Island, much less the mainland.
		The Yaeyama Islands are subtropical and even in winter temperatures rarely drop below 15°C, making the area a popular winter getaway, although it's often cloudy and usually a little too cold for sunbathing.
		Yaeyama's best-known dish is the ubiquitous Yaeyama soba (八重山そば), which bears little resemblance to soba on the mainland: the Yaeyaman version consists of white wheat noodles in a mild pork-based stock, garnished with chunks of pork (sōki), some slices of fish cake and red ginger.

		Yaeyama (Yaeyama: yaimamunii) is a language spoken by around 44,650 people in the Yaeyama Islands, south of the Miyako area of the Ryukyus.
		Note, however, that the distinction between languages and dialects is often not a linguistic one but a social and political one.
		While the Yaeyama language was more "conservative" in some aspects, in the sense of preserving certain pronunciations, in other aspects it was more innovative.

	Japan Focus
		The boundaries of languages and language varieties – a term linguists prefer to dialects since it does not connote the idea of a deviation from a chosen standard – do not come into existence by themselves.
		Language ideology, the determination of what language(s) ought to be, played a crucial role in the language shift processes in the Ryukyu Islands.
		Furthermore, nothing is known about local awareness concerning the possible loss of their languages in the speech communities themselves, the attitudes of the speech communities toward language endangerment, and, to be based on such fundamental information, realistic goals for language revitalization have not yet been set.

	Outline of Iriomote Island
		The language of Okinawa is sometimes called Okinawan dialect (especially in Okinawa itself), however, it differs from the Japanese language not only in words but also in conjugation of verbs and adjectives, thus it further excesses the dialect level.
		In contrast, the language in Yaeyama is preserving its peculiarity even after Yaeyama was integrated with Ryukyu Kingdom as Yaeyama once belonged to the different cultural sphere from Okinawa.
		Because all of the islands in Yaeyama excluding Ishigaki and Yonaguni which are united culturally and populationally are combined into a single administrative town, and the name of Taketomi Island where once a government office of Ryukyu Kingdom to reign over Yaeyama was placed was taken for the administrative name.

		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.
		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.
