  • Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
    Special Thanks to Kainuguni (Yonaguni language blog)
    The Yonaguni language, spoken by about 400 people on Yonaguni Island in the Ryukyu Islands, is a Southern Ryukyuan language closely related to Yaeyama. It is not officially recognized by the Japanese government, which refers to it as a dialect. UNESCO classifies it as one of Japan's most endangered languages, second to Ainu. The island of Yonaguni, the westernmost inhabited Japanese island near Taiwan, is notable for its hanazake beverage, Yonaguni horse, Ryukyu atlas moth, and winter gatherings of hammerhead sharks. It is also home to the Yonaguni Monument, a submerged rock formation discovered in 1986. Kaidā glyphs are pictograms from the Yaeyama Islands, and most studies on the pictographs focused on Yonaguni Island.

    Yonaguni is fascinating in that the two consonants "w" and "y" have undergone fortition: w shifted to b, and y shifted to z and then d.
    Eg:
    - 野菜 is "yasai" in Japanese, cognate with Mandarin yěcài. In Yonaguni, it is "dasai"
    - The name of the island: 与那国 (Yonaguni) is "Dunan"
    - 山 is "yama" in Japanese and "dama" in Yonaguni.

      Sorry what are you talking about, how could [w] be fortify into [b], also [y] is not even a consonant and [w] is a semi vowel, do you care to elaborate? I am not sure what phones phonemes you’re referring about since you use quotation marks I’d assume it’s phonemes you’re on about? Idk about your phonetic representation if that makes sense, ta.

      @@hieudo4460 isn't it obv that they meant y as [j] or [ʝ]? 💀japanese romaji uses y for [j] so the elaboration is there, wikipedia says yonaguni originally had [ʝ] which fortified into [d], and semivowels can also be fortified as has happened in gaelic

      @@parsifal2299 É possível, mas soube que na verdade há tantas dialetos das línguas Ryukyu que são na verdade ininteligíveis entre si, podendo ser chamados de línguas independentes mesmo. Há alguns vídeos mostrando isso. Realmente, pelo que me disseram, a maioria dos nossos descendentes japoneses veio de Okinawa (ou das demais ilhas do reino de Ryukyu, não sei dizer ao certo).
      Nossos descendentes deveriam fundar uma organização pra preservar estas línguas preciosas, ao invés de se promover o Nihongo como se fosse a única língua do Japão! Aproveito pra mencionar o povo Ainu, pois muitos ainda não sabem de sua existência, outra cultura muito interessante e bem mais antiga do país.
