Differences between Okinawan and Miyako

  • There are three locatives in Okinawan and one in Miyako.
  • There are two allatives in Ikema and one in Okinawan.
  • There is an accusative in Miyako but not in Okinawan.
  • There is an associative in Okinawan but not in Miyako.
  • Medial verbs appear frequently in Okinawan (indicating simultaneous or sequential verbs), but do not seem to appear in Ikema Miyako (though they do in Irabu).
  • It seems that pronouns (in particular, second person singular) are dropped more often in Miyako than in Okinawan.
  • When discussing when things happen (e.g. I went when I was 10), Miyako has a couple of examples that have a word meaning time, but Okinawan does not seem to have anything equivalent.
