We are thrilled to announce that we are now in production on a documentary about the efforts of dedicated Okinawans to protect and preserve Shimakutuba, the language of our ancestors. The film is being produced by Paul Sean Grieve, a filmmaker from Canada, and it involves not only Hands-On, but also the Okinawan diaspora around the world and in particular Hawaii. We will be selling DVDs in advance to raise funds for the production of the film.

I am a Maori, from Te Aotearoa (New Zealand)...
I know what the damage and threatening demise of a language can do to traditional cultures and to the people.
Due to my peoples struggles against the Law and Social Ignorance, the Maori language is now an official language of Te Aotearoa (New Zealand)
In the struggles you face, I wish good fortune to you of Okinawa, may your struggles be small and your victories great!
Nga mihi aroha nui ki a koutou.
I acknowledge you all with much love.
I am from small tribe called mori, i know that feeling. The national language practically erasing our language slowly, and culture to some extent.
Meiji Japan tried to destroy Korea culture by even eliminating their lineage of their King. Send to be imprisoned in Japan after Japan occupied Korea.
They did that in Taiwan Island they occupied for 50 years.
The Kingdom of Ryuku existed as an independent nation until they were invaded by Japan unprovoked.
After a defeated Japan left the island. 200,000 Ryukun families went missing. That is genocide.
japan is different than new zeland , because all japanese people are native to japan, they have their own tribrs but on the and they are all japanese people. In newzeland white man is just occupies your land and tried to delete culture and maori language.

The parallel is in the former Kingdom of Ryuku forcefully occupied and annexed by the Meiji Japan in 1879. That was before they invaded Taiwan and the surrounding islands including Daiyutai. That is why after Japan was defeated, Japan had to return Taiwan and all these islands back to China not Taiwan Province. US occupied and administer Okinawa but back in 1972 in a surprise move passed the administration to Japan. It was illegal and a planned chess game.
Facts:
200,000 Ryuku families were missing after the Imperial Japanese Army withdrawn from Ryuku today you called Okinawa today. That is genocide which was very common during WW2. Hundred of headless corpses will discovered all over East and SE Asia. That is why East Asians were irated when Japanese PMs visits the Yasukuni Shrine which they purposed transferred class A warcrimes criminal there. It is an indication of Japan hidden ambition. The fire is still there. They are the real threat in Asia and NOT China.
ウチナーの言葉、音楽、人達を聞いたり見ると何とも無く親しい気持ちが起きて来る。沖縄の皆様、自分の文化とウチナーグチを忘れないで下さい。何時か必ず沖縄に旅したいです。
As a Ryukyu-Te practitioner I wish to learn such a beautiful rich culture to pass down.
I´ve read there are actually five or six regional languages in the Ryukyu Islands and I do support their preservation (and, of course, all other regional languages of Japan as well)! Thanks for this documentary, sharing!
This disappearance of language is happening to the Finnish urgic languages aswell. In places where there is other main language. The young people prefer to know the main language more then their ancestors language.
They look like Filipinos or other SEA people.
Seeing such passion for one’s culture and language is really moving.
Foreigner with N2 Japanese level and no previous experience with Ryukyu language: that's why they call it a language instead of a dialect.
Definitely the hardest achievement in the game.
If Arumba was an immortal from the 15th century, we'd all speak like this.
Go for 3 mountains
Don't even need to mention their language or their culture. Their appearance alone is enough to see that they are different from Japanese.
To me, Okinawan (Ryukyuan) are not Japanese. I wish they kept their kingdom.
Well, they couldn't, cause they got colonized.
You know they would prolly have gotten colonized by the Chinese too. Ryukyu was fought over by the Chinese and Japanese
@@imswezi9499 I think China tried to colonize Ryukyu at one point but that was at least 2,000 years ago. They couldn't communicate with the native ryukyuans because their culture, language, tradition, etc are too different from the chinese. Japan on the other hand bear much more similarities and is able to eventually colonize the islands one by one.
@@thomasliu7308 ?
Okinawa was tied in much more with China.
They were a tributary state and there was a region that consisted of Chinese, that were invited by one of the Kings of LooChoo, to be high ranking gov officiala(kumemura).
Even one legend of shisa, puts shisa as a result of a gift to the king, from a Chinese emissiary, in the form of a talisman that the King wore around his neck all the time, upon receiving.
@@illogicalmethod I'm no expert in the historical relations between China and Okinawa, but just a FYI I got my sources from ua-cam.com/video/rKUI-j3iIo0/v-deo.html at around 2:00. Yes, they were a tributary state and so were many surrounding nations like Korea and Vietnam during the time, but that does not imply their cultures/traditions are similar at all.
Even though this qualifies as a different language from japanese im amazed that I can still understand them! Most of the time it sounds like a different dialect to my ears, but the subtle sound changes are actually romanized differently.
Right
Japanese probably shares a common ancestor with the language. Spanish and Portuguese are so similar you can understand both by learning only one language, and are both evolved forms of Latin language
@@saltyfloridaman7163 Due to the Japanese government's massacre and assimilation of the Ryukyu people, the true Ryukyu language has disappeared! The Ryukyu language today has a lot of Japanese, so that's why you think Ryukyu is similar to Japanese.

The tone of Okinawa language is very samely as polynisian
I happy to see Japan does have other native languages spoken.
Also Ainu.
Also Miyako, Okinawan and some others.
This is Ryukyu, not Japan! Japan invaded Ryukyu!
So many great languages of the world have been endangered or lost due to forced assimilation and language suppression.
Support Ryukyu Independence !!
First: Organizing a Ryukyu Independent Organization.
Second: Save Ryukyu culture action. Save Ryukyu characters, languages, costumes, songs and dances, etc.
Third: Supervisors should meet regularly to discuss how to achieve Ryukyu independence.
free ryukyu
ありがとう。
1970年生まれでウチナーグチが話せない。両親が学校で沖縄言葉を話せば方言ふだを首からかけられた時代だったそうです。日本に同化する事を学ばされた両親。私達の時代で消してはならない言語、歴史、文化。琉球は尊い。琉球国王のぬちどぅ宝の想いを胸に。生き延びた私達が繋ぎ無くしてはいけない国がある。
故オナガ知事が言っていた。ウチナンチュ✨ 負けティナイビランドゥ‼️
Unfortunately, the continuity of language ultimately depends on money.
ryukyu island must either stand on its own feet and revive significantly or receive money from the Japanese government. Otherwise, the Ryukyu people will continue to escape the island
What the Ryukyu independents are trying now is to stimulate the Japanese government through close relationship with china. It may be a radical tactic, but it is a cliff tactic that signals the importance of Ryukyu Island. What do you think?
You lose your language you lose a significant part of your culture and history
Respect to 琉球民族！
見ながら涙が流す。。。感動です。
Exactly like the one young gal said, she wants to say the words but it just doesn’t come out of her mouth. Born and raised in Canada but listened to mom and dad speak uchinaguchi. From a very young age I’ve understood it. And yet speaking is so difficult.
I wish I can go to ryukyu Island,I always hear about ryukyu Island because is love to read history and legend about our great admiral and relationships about Malacca empire and ryukyu Island,, in Ryukyu record our lagend have go to ryukyu Island 4time
My dad used to history and geography in public middle school in Oki. He told me all about the ryukyuan trade and how far it spread and what records are left in malacca and different countries.
The ending was beautiful. Everybody coming together and celebrating their language and culture
I have watched this video at least 5 times and every time I watch it the image of the woman at 4:40 just stays in my mind for days afterwards. You can see the tears in her eyes and her feelings of wanting to acknowledge her ancestors as well as know her culture are strongly shared. It shouldn't be controversial to say that Japan colonized the Ryukyu Islands as well as Hokkaido and the effects of colonization are still being felt to this day.
But the Japanese government doesn't acknowledge any of this, they keep glorifying the invasion!
I am from Jeju island South korea. The Jeju has the same history like Rukyu la ong long time ago. I am fully support Rykyu people.and plese do no forget where your roots come from Rukyu dynasty.
In some countries, they use "mother tongue" in written and oral communication to preserve the language or the dialect.
In the Philippines for example, we use local languages (may it be regional or province-based languages or dialecfs) in schools along with the Tagalog and English languages.
same as in my country. At school they are taught the official national language and English, as well as their local language or mother tongue. In my area most native people always speak the local language, Except when they talk to outsiders they speak the official national language.
ryukyu people is look like south east Asian people
record down these languages , make lessons out of it , as long as there is a record and a system of passing it down, it will not die....i think
That's not what's meant by "dead language". It can be written down and have a perfect system of passing it down but have all it's native speakers extinct. Once that happens a language is dead, no matter if 500 or even 1000 other people learned the language to "preserve it". With the death of the last native speakers so dies a big part of the culture surrounding the language sadly
Many native language do not have their own written form. Even Japanese borrowed many written form words from chinese.
You may be right. Latin is a completly dead language. But thanks to the Catholic church and the bible, we know how to speak latin and can still understand it.
@@raidb0ss29 Firstly, "right" not "write. Secondly, we don't actually know how to speak it properly. We have some pretty good guesses and scientific approximations but we don't and never will know the exact pronunciation and the different dialects used. So yeah, we know how to write it and we understand it, but the exact pronunciation is lost forever.
Thanks for sharing and a very good initiative to preserv such an ancestral culture.
Thank you for sharing Uchinaa's marvelous cultures and languages with us!
Difference btw Ryukyuans and Japanese is the same than between insular italians (Corsicans, Sardinians and Sicilians) and continental Italians IMO.
Real Sicilians language is influenced by so many arabic words. Sicilians language nowadays is Italo-Dalmatian, very different with the old sicilian language. Because Muslim prosecution in Sicily (Lombard Pogroms) in 1160.
Muslim is major religion in Sicily in 800 to 1000 AD, they even build The Emirates of Sicily. Many Sicilian Muslims killed and exiled by Christian Romans, and they change the language to Italo-Dalmatian version.
That is a good comparison.
Wow. The language is really close to Algonquin and Iroquoi in Canada
how so? do you have examples?
Extreme doubt. Obviously I know they arent related and I also know that's not what you're implying so spare me that and post examples.
pass that good weed mate
touhoku and ryuukyuan dialects are most difficult ones to understand really ,even the many japanese people struggling to understand those dialects
That's because those Japanese dialects are very influenced by the other Japonic languages living there (and still living) before Japanese was inforced because of assimilation policies.
ryuukyuan is not a dialect it's different language, stop with your imperial bs
@@Mr.Jasaw13 well depending on how you look at it
@@Mr.Jasaw13 The Ryukyu islands _also_ have their own dialect of Japanese which is hard to understand, I think that is what he is talking about.
This is Ryukyu, not Japan! Japan invaded Ryukyu!
Okinawa must have had a deep influence on Japan as many things look the same but being oppressed Natives they may feel a great difference by Okinawa citizens when Japan has claimed Okinawa as its own !
Wonderful keep your language alive. Hello from Samoa
I feel like okinawa is like old world japan and Japan use to be like this once upon a time. Its really sad to here that this language is dying out. Just like we have native Americans and stuoid british people wipe out most of them.
Face same like malay
Please talk about “ HOGEN” old Okinawans language!
Yes
I feel your pain guys do your best. We faced the similar problem,love from Northeast India by a Bodo tribe.
They look like a perfect combination of East Asian and Southeast Asian people..😅

No wonder some japanese looks like southeast asian, they are actually okinawan people. I thought they were mixed.
It depends. Like me, I am half-Japanese half-Filipino, I'm not Okinawan. The people in the video are Okinawans and they are completely different and unrelated to the Mainland Japanese.
Do they look different from other Japanese people? Remind me of other Pacific Islander peoples and cultures.
Yes they look very different from Mainland JP.
Umbusanu❤
the first time i knew that japanese killed most local in ryukyu i just cant believe my ears...then i get to know how they occupied the country,how they destory ryukyu language and call it a japanese dialect,how they make it a usa army base and a japanese famous tourist attraction...i feel so so sad for them and truly wish they could find their language ans culture back and be free😢😢😢imagine someone killed your family and ask you to stop speaking your language and force you to be their slave...
Does the Ryukyuan language have a writing system?
Go on with studying your language. You'll prosper after getting away from Japan. Ethincally different as you are, you have to be independent.
In Indonesian i have mother language too i want we mother language don't die and changing by Indonesian language because mother language is identity
Same goes to us as Dusun from Sabah,Malaysia..maybe our language will be extinct in 10 years ahead
They looked like southeast asian
sounds alot like a pacific island language
2:38 What is the name of this song?
Like Indonesian culture
Free Liuqiu!
I want to learn it. Please give me any instructions. Thank You,
What’s the song in 0:33 ? It’s such a beautiful tune.
Actually these people do Look different but they also behave different from Japanese people they look a little like Polynesians alsobut heir true Identidy n cu;lure? sadly they wil never get ack from Japam
I wish Ryukyuans colonize us Yamato so we can regain some Jomon ancestry. Ryukyuans are better looking than us Yamato because of higher Jomon ancestry.
Ew. Yayoi has better looks than fucking Jomons!
Song at 0:32 ?
Who is Onaha Buten?
Why they look like malay
Oooh some look like filipinos!!
縄文人ですね
琉球独立！
It even seems like the Japanese language itself is dying as it loses itself to more loanwords. But that's neither here nor there... I really hope as many of these languages can be preserved. Stamping them out in favor of standardization was just as wrong as the mainland Chinese trying to "simplify" and lose the meaning of many of their own words.
Are you talking about simplified characters? Japan also simplified their characters
Are they part Korean
