I used to have a friend from Okinawa. He spoke common Japanese well, but sometimes I didn’t understand what he said.
Thanks! I love it.  |
Most people under 30 years old speak in Japanese... The only time I heard Ryukuan was when older people were talking to older people!
My host brothers and sisters always told me they understood a few words, but they can't speak it. It's unfortunate because the language is starting to die
