The style of Karate I follow, Ѕhіtō-ryū, comes from Okinawa. Some words we use are Okinawan, such as the names for the primary katas, which are called "Pinan", while in mainland Japan are called "Heian". We also use the terms "giri" for "kick" instead of "geri", or the word "uki" instead of "uke" for "defense".
that depends from the karate association, it can be shitou ryuu but if it belongs the a karate association rooted in Tokyo then is going to use geri and uke, I studied gojuu ryuu and we used geri and uke because my dojo was from one of those associations from Tokyo, they standardize everything there.
@@laughingvampire7555 Oh, I see... And did you call the primary katas "Pinan" or "Heian"? Because the Shōtōkan users that I have met called them "Heian", maybe in your dōjō they were called "Heian" as well?
Me and my family mainly did wado-ryu karate for a long time and for competitions, but as we got older we started doing more of shito-ryu. My brother and I recently did chatanyara kusanku and kosokun dai at a competition.
@@ElHeraldoHispanoI do okinawan shorin ryu, and the heian/pinan katas are called pinan, since it’s translated in okinawan, but overall it’s still the same thing. heian is japanese and pinan is okinawan.
Okinawan sounds like a completely different language from Japanese, but in fact there are many words that have been derived from ancient Japanese, and it can be said that it is a language close to Japanese.
Thank you for highlighting the Okinawan dialect! My late mother was from Okinawa so I grew up speaking that dialect with her. I had to learn Tokyo dialect as I lived on the mainland and attended school in Tokyo. The two are so vastly different not just to me, but to everyone. There’s a debate whether to consider Okinawan Japanese a dialect or a separate language of its own. In my opinion, I do not care what it’s considered. It will always be one of my native tongues.
This was great, thanks! 1 tiny thing is, み名/御名 is “mina”, not “minna”… But still this is really appreciated! I’ve tried studying Okinawan/Ryukyu language but it’s too hard. I tried to sing 民謡 (island music?) but I can’t make it work. Much respect to Okinawans for your beautiful language and music.
It’s very likely that both Japanese and Okinawan are substrates of an austronesian language in their ancient form before they diverged into separate languages. Okinawan may appear more austronesian due to their increased contact with them
I very much do not think so. As far as I'm aware, the Austronesian expansion happened much, much later than the modern Japanese migrating to Japan. That's just one of those stretch theories like the grouping of all non-indoeuropean asiatic languages into a single family, because of small and vague similarities that could just as easily be chance. It's too far back to say, and the current consensus among linguists is that Japonic languages are their own family.
There seem to be multiple layers of Austronesian in Japanese. There's the rice farming one and in Vovin's 2021 paper Austronesians in Northern Waters he mentions a recent one coincident with the Yayoi to about the end of Yamato periods based on comparisons with Old Japanese poetry against mostly Philippine languages as well as some western Malayo-Polynesian and Amis. Core vocabulary and intense contact according to him
In his 2014 paper Out of Southern China he linked it to Kra-Dai which is said to be related to Austronesian. So there are probably multiple Austronesian links to Japonic through space and time including of recent vintage
The two people probably had contact long ago and influenced each other, since Taiwan is very close to Japan. But today this influence is almost untraceable, Austronesian languages themselves sometimes differ much from each other due to isolation.
I would say it's High German vs. Icelandic. Where the distant ancestor shows cognates, but... Phonology wise are nothing alike. One has sounds that are ancient, the other is absolutely highly derived. German changed its consonants heavily and vowels, Icelandic preserves older features.
Nowadays most Okinawans speak standard Japanese with a slightly different accent and use a few regional words and expressions coming from Okinawan languages
As a foreigner I can obviously identify that its a Japonic language, but listening harder to it, there are a lot of unfamiliar sounds, its quite uncanny.
Cultural things I’ve noticed is that the Ryukyuan(okinawan) culture tend to look similar to Chinese and my culture(Vietnamese). And Japanese culture tends to look kinda similar to Korean culture. But all look so different from each other
The ryukyuan and japanese languages have been diverging for at least 1500 to 1800 years by this point. That's comparable to the differences in time between Cantonese and Mandarin (~2000 years), German and English (~1300 years), Polish and Russian (~1100 years), French and Spanish (~1200 years), and so on. This is also not to mention the heavy external influences that Japanese and Ryukyuan both inherited at different points and from different sources. Japanese has been heavily influenced by Classical Chinese and Modern English, whilst the Ryukyuan languages have been greatly influenced by Medieval Chinese, Modern Japanese, and less-so but Modern English as well.
As a traveler I would really love to see islands like Hawaii and Okinawa gain independence so they could become more than just a cool tourist spot. The history and culture is truly unmatched.
@@スノーハッピー You could say the same thing for Taiwan although they were at some points in history apart of China they were considered foreigners by most people in the mainland
here is an interesting fact, the word karate was originally written with the kanji for Tang & hand and read in Japanese toude, but in Okinawan is read toodi. And the real translation to English is "Chinese martial arts" and it was really a reference to kung fu, then, since the Okinawans had made kung fu their own they rename it to karate meaning empty hand, but the meaning was more about "martial arts of learning" so karate was supposed to keep improving and expanding but once was adopted by the Japanese it had a few modification to adapt to mainland Japan (Yamaoto) sensibilities and got frozen in time.
Which "Okinawan" is this? The Northern language or the Southern one? ( Okinawa is a big Ryukyuan island, hence the important diactal divergence. ) The medium Ryukyuan islands usually have a single language. And a single language / dialect group covers many smaller islands. Do you have material for the Hachijo language? It's native to a few of the Izu islands south of Tokyo. It's a unique surviving branch of Japonic.
I am so disillusioned. After learning about Occitan, Catalan, Ainu, and Okinawan, it only goes to show how arbitrary these "official languages" like Spanish, French, and Japanese are.
Exactly, in most cases these "national official languages" are originally just languages spoken in only the capital that were forcefully pushed onto the other areas while destroying the minority languages of other regions
Well, in the case of Spain, the government has promoted teaching of regional languages, such as Catalan (and its respectives dialects), Euskara, Galician and asturian. For example, 80% of Galicia speaks Galician, and around the same number in the Catalan countries and in Euskal Herria. It's pretty funny, tho, that France has done the opposite, killing those languages like occitan, the euskeras in their territory and Britons... At least Spain has done something, and that's pretty nice. I personally can speak Galician.
It’s interesting the usage of Kanji in their written language, which are read differently from Japanese. Similar to how it works in Chinese languages. I wonder if that could work for Ainu too.
Is this based of modern Okinawan's speakers how they live NOW? Or is it more based off the medieval Ryuukyuu island kingdom how they spoke then? (This would be very interesting to know. As well as what time period the text is based off of.) Thanks for any input on this.
Okinawan showcased me a sort of surprising resemblance with Austronesian cluster (Polynesian branch) or also, even Native North American tongues, rather than Japonic family, to whom most of members manifest almost zero intelligibility, despite belonging to that group and moreover, to the Ryukyuan subgroup (comparing Okinawan with adjacent languages like Yonaguni & Miyakoan would end up in deceitful frustration instead of mutual comprehension among them); this reveals the true charm of linguistic diversity around the world.
I love japans different dialects it’s just a pain in the ass having to learn all the differences. My Tokyo Japanese is probably useless outside of Tokyo.
I can learn Okinawan language better because I know Standard Japanese language in several level and also have the family who speak Sundanese language here in Indonesia.
@@cheerful_crop_circle Oh okay, but what do you mean exactly ? Is it like Japanese sounds a bit faster and harsher than Okinawan, like German sounds faster and harsher than Italian ?
@@s.k.9110 No , I mean linguistically speaking. German and Italian are both Indo-European languages just like how Japanese and Okinawan are both Japonic languages
Okinawa was its own kingdom for 500 years until Shogun Japan went in and massacres tons of people, seizing controls, and Imperial Japan army re-invades Okinawa in the late 1800s and ever since Okinawa had becomes a fully occupied nations, now under both the coalition's occupations of America and Japan.
Now the Ryukyu language is not the old Ryukyu language! After being invaded and colonized by Japan, a large number of Japanese forcibly occupied the land of the Ryukyu people, and prohibited the Ryukyu people from speaking Ryukyu language. They could only speak Japanese, and they could only speak Japanese in school, so the current Ryukyu language is mixed with a lot of Japanese. This is not the original Ryukyu language! Japan must stop persecuting Ryukyu and Ryukyu people! Free Ryukyu!
