This is a list of languages which I am interested in working on this semester. I do not have a strong preference between the two Ryukyuan languages.
Contents
Miyako Ryukyuan
Morphological Typology
Miyako is an agglutinative language[1]
Basic Information
There are a number of languages spoken on the Ryukyuan islands (located south of mainland Japan), each of which in turn has multiple dialects. [2] The dialects of Miyako include Ogami, Ikema, and Hirara, and there are at most 10,000-15,000 speakers of these various dialects combined.[1] Ryukyuan languages are written in katakana, and the ISO code for Miyako is mvi.[3]
Availability of Text
I should be able to find a sufficient corpus from various resources available online.[2][4]
Central Okinawan
Morphological Typology
Central Okinawan is an agglutinative language.[5]
Basic Information
There are at most 285,000 speakers of Central Okinawan.[6] Dialects include Shuri and Tsuken, and the ISO code is ryu.[7]
Availability of Text
I should be able to compile a sufficient corpus from papers available online.[5][8]
Ainu
Morphological Typology
Most sources obtained from a simple Google search indicate that Ainu is an agglutinative language, and describe it either as synthetic[9] or polysynthetic.[10]
Basic Information
Ainu is the language spoken by the people indigenous to Hokkaido, the northernmost island of present-day Japan. As a result of the Meiji government ban on the use of Ainu in 1869[11] the language has a very small number of speakers, with estimates ranging from 2-15.[12] However, in recent years there have been efforts made to revive the language. Ainu can be written in katakana or in romanji, and the ISO code is ain.[13]
Availability of Text
I am confident that I can find a page's worth of text in Ainu. There is a grammar in McCabe[14], and I have found additional samples online.[15][16]
