Various - かなす ウチナー = Kanasu Uchinaa (The Traditional Folksongs Of Okinawa, 1960s) mp3 flac download

Okinawan Japanese has some loanwords from American English due to the United States administration after the Battle of Okinawa.

Reading traditional Okinawan texts is complicated by the traditional tendency to use the kana for the equivalent Japanese pronunciation, even though the Okinawan writer & reader would likely see it and pronounce it in the Okinawan manner. For example, a traditional document might use the kana おきなわ, corresponding directly to o-ki-na-wa, intending it to be read u-chi-na-a, and would not write うちなー, as we might today to explicitly indicate the Okinawan n.

In modern Okinawa, even though Okinawan is spoken mostly by the older population of the island, people are still familiar with a fairly large number of Okinawan words and phrases. Most of these are quite common. To show contrast with Japanese, I’ll put the Japanese in parentheses after the Okinawan. Hello (fe. - はいたい（こんにちは）. Thank you - にふぇーでーびる（ありがとう）. Welcome - めんそーれー（ようこそ、いらっしゃいませ）. Nice to meet you - はじみてぃやーさい（はじめまして）. Good morning - うきみそーちー（おはよう）. Okinawan person - うちなーんちゅ（沖縄の人）. I realized I never ever drew okinawan traditional dresses before! Here’s a homage to my heritage~.
