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.
