すばらしい会話です。沖縄の歴史を学びたくなります。沖縄の若者­はこういった沖縄の高齢者から本物のウチナグチを子供の頃から学­ぶべきですよ。絶対に将来トクしますよ！標準語しかはなせない私­からしたらカッコよいです！

unrelated.When the yayoi people went to japan from korea they forced the jomon north to hokkaido and south to the ryukyus.Uchinaa people are closer to ainu people than yamato people.Uchinaa is a seperate ethnicity from japanese and has its own distinct language.Uchinaa and Ainu are descendants of the jomon people,the indigenous people of japan who originated in south east asia.Japanese are descendants of yayoi who originated in north asia.

not so sure they're completely unrelated. Uchinaaguchi is considered a Japonic language and Japanese does have linguistic ties to the Korean language so distantly they probably have some relation.

Uchinaaguchi and Korean are completely unrelated.

sounds like korea

[TTyger]

nope,

沖縄 = okinawa

沖縄口 = uchinaguchi

basically you just add the character for mouth to the end of the word for okinawa, and the whole thing becomes 'uchinaguchi'.

[Chichiri520]

Yes.

It is also interesting to note the rhythmically different Uchinaguchi sounds compared to Japanese.
