You changed your username from User:Moneynoob to User:Minfremi, yes? Just wondering. ミーラー強斗武 (talk) 22:11, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Central Okinawan paper reviewed

First and second sentences:

"central Okinawan is one of the six seven languages spoken within the Ryukyu Islands spread throughout the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean between Japan and Taiwan. Central Okinawan (from now on shortened to just 'Okinawan') itself is spoken in northern central and southern Okinawa and surrounding islands."

Japanese should be included here, making it seven. Northern Okinawa is where Kunigami language is spoken.

First sentence on page 2:

"Due to Japanese annexation and forced assimilation, the Okinawan language became to be was labeled a Japanese dialect, and so instead of it being called Okinawa-go in Japan, it is officially Okinawa-hōgen, or Okinawa-ben."

This is better wording of what happened.

Page 4, third paragraph, sixth sentence:

"Tableaux will be created to..."

I just thought the word "tableaux" was a little odd, but I wouldn't know if it was wrong.

And finally, your works cited. I noticed that you only used internet sources, half of which ("half" sounds inappropriate with a small number, hope I don't offend) were Wikipedia pages. Just saying, some professors won't accept Wikipedia and/or demand at least one book as a source, but I'm guessing yours wasn't a strict one. Overall a great paper!

Btw, did you ever come across any sources that basically "prove" that 沖縄口 is the correct Okinawan kanji for Okinawan? I'm in a dispute on Japanese Wikipedia over this. ミーラー強斗武 (talk) 02:39, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

ニフェーデービル

Japanese

Yes, I seem to have completely forgotten Japanese in one of the languages spoken in Okinawa...

Tableaux

Even our teacher wasn't really sure on how to word this. I will leave this as is.

Sources

As long as there was a source other than Wikipedia, it was fine. The teacher wasn't so strict on it. I did the minimum number of sources asked.

沖縄口

Is this the thing on 口 vs 語？I actually have no clue. I only presumed that 沖縄口 is the kanji for Okinawan.

Others

I'm was sort of surprised you didn't stop at the population of Okinawan speakers. I put down less than 300,000 but Wikipedia says 980,000 or something like that. I took the 300000 number from somewhere and it looked like a legit number, considering how Okinawan is endangered and the population of the prefecture.
