Creating Digital Materials
The Ryukyuan languages, spoken in southern Japan, are all highly endangered, with almost all speakers above the age of 50. The situation is particularly dire in the southern Yaeyama Islands, where the vast majority of speakers are over 70. The current project focuses on the creation of digital resources ( ) for Meeramuni, the Miyara variety of Yaeyaman. Our website consists of a number of language learning tools: language lessons for vocabulary, grammar, and conversation, stories and media for contextual learning, games for reviewing material, and a number of resources and tools, including a dictionary, conjugation tables, and a sound correspondence tool to aid users’ learning experience by teaching them to draw upon their knowledge of Japanese to infer Meeramuni words.
