This podcast episode features Yaeyama language researcher Madoka Hammine talking about language attitudes in her own community. She talks about how sad she feels that her own community devalues their own heritage language, and the emotional fulfillment she gets when she is able to find people willing to speak to her in their heritage language. She also talks about the difference between her community's reaction to researchers from inside their community versus those from outside. Very interesting and worth checking out!

Temporal adverbs in Yonaguni - A complete guide
Tumblr media
*This is the updated version from the previous one.
 Telling time (temporal adverbs) is one of the essential conversation skills. 
In Yonaguni, there are some adverbs that have alternative forms, which learners may need to take note of.
1) 七日(なんか)can be written as 一週間, which is a loanword and kun’yomi reading from Standard Japanese.
2) According to 与那国ことば辞典, 四日日(どぅがてぃ)is the same as 四日(どぅーが), meaning two days after tomorrow.
3) Similar to 七日, 四日なてぃ(どぅがなてぃ)is sometimes written in a Japanese manner, 一昨昨日.
4) 一昨日 can be written as 昨日一昨日(んぬぶとぅてぃ).
5) According to どぅなんむぬい辞典, 明後日(あさてぃ)is the same as 四日ぬ日(どぅがぬてぃ). All sources I have point out that 明後日 is a much more common word choice.
6) 日ぬ数(っちぬかーでぃ), meaning every day, can be used interchangeably with 日々(っちーどぅ/てぃーどぅ)and 毎日(まいにち).
7) Another common adverb that is not included in the infographic is 明日明後日(あたさてぃ), meaning in the near future (lit. tomorrow or the day after tomorrow). As you may have noticed, this word is the contracted form of 明日(あった)and 明後日(あさてぃ).
8) For days of the week, the pronunciations are almost identical to Standard Japanese. In terms of spelling, 曜日 (ようび)is usually spelled 曜日(よーび)in Yonaguni.

Yonaguni writing system
アンカ゜ナヤミャーラドゥナイブル。(full Katakana)
あんか゜なやみゃーらどぅないぶる。(full Hiragana)
我んか゜名や宮良どぅないぶる。 (Hiragana mixed with Kanji)
aNŋa naja mja:ra dunaiburu. (Latin alphabet/Romanization)
There are currently 4 known ways of writing Yonaguni.
Ryukyuan languages are rarely written partially due to Japan’s post-war language policy.
Ryukyuan languages consist of many local varients. Every island of the archipelago has its own language, and every language has different dialects.
Japanese Katakana was introduced to Ryukyuans well before the Ryukyu Kingdom was annexed by the Empire of Japan. Kanji on the other hand were, at that time, not used to document any Ryukyuan language.
As the archipelago Japanized before WWII, some Ryukyuans adopted Japanese Kanji into their languages. Some Kanji are pronounced using  kun-yomi reading (meaning that the pronunciation of the vary word does not reflect upon the original pronunciation from Chinese).
Some words may be represented by many Kanji. For example, the word for “I” can be written as “我”, ”俺”, or ”私”. 
Since there are currently no dictionaries for Yonaguni Kanji, I am compiling one on my own based on a book called “Yonaguni Folklore” published in 1983.
Modern Ryukyuan languages lack standard orthographies, and the most common way to write these languages is by using full Katakana or Hiragana. However, most linguists would suggest that we use Romanization, a method that could document Ryukyuan phonology with precision.
This blog is dedicated to either full Hiragana or Hiragana-Kanji writing.
