What are the Ryukyuan languages? How and whence did these languages arise and diversify? The history of the evolution of the Ryukyuan languages is a fundamental issue that still remains by and large unsolved. The study of the prehistory of human populations is not the preserve of archaeology, but is located at the interface with other disciplines such as anthropology and linguistics. In particular, the insights from historical linguistics have proven especially valuable, and though it is…

The Ryukyu Islands and the Northern Frontier of Prehistoric Austronesian Settlement
The origins and dispersals of Austronesian peoples have been widely discussed in Pacific archaeology. There is broad agreement that Taiwan was the primary source for the initial expansion of these…
Austronesian influence and Transeurasian ancestry in Japanese
In this paper, I propose a hypothesis reconciling Austronesian influence and Transeurasian ancestry in the Japanese language, explaining the spread of the Japanic languages through farming dispersal.…
On the Origins of the Japanese Language
Abstract In this article, I deal with the historical development of the Japanese language by applying a multi-disciplinary approach that uses data from a variety of fields. My research indicates that…
Stability and change in the colour lexicon of the Japonic languages
Previous work on colour lexicons focussed on universal patterns in their structure and evolution. We collected new colour naming data in Japanese and three under-described Ryukyuan languages…
The geographical configuration of a language area influences linguistic diversity
Like the transfer of genetic variation through gene flow, language changes constantly as a result of its use in human interaction. Contact between speakers is most likely to happen when they are…
Cultural transmission of traditional songs in the Ryukyu Archipelago
Geographic patterns of cultural variations are affected by how cultural traits are transmitted within and between populations. It has been argued that cultural traits are transmitted in different…
Rendaku in Okinawan
This paper provides a thorough synchronic and diachronic account of rendaku in the Shuri dialect of Okinawan, which is the best documented variety in the Ryukyuan branch of the Japonic family.…
Non-Core Vocabulary Cognates in Ryukyuan and Kyushu*
The present paper provides an overview of eighteen identified likely cognates from Ryukyuan and Kyushu regiolects which the author argues have been inherited from Common Kyushu-Ryukyuan (CKR). The…
Ifa Fuyū’s Search for Okinawan-Japanese Identity
This paper focuses on the crucial role played by Ifa Fuyū, the “father of Okinawan studies,” in articulating ideas related to Okinawan-Japanese identity. Starting with a brief overview of Ifa’s life…
Rendaku in cross-linguistic perspective
The purpose of this paper is to document rendaku-like devices in languages other than Japanese and to cast a comparative and typological eye on the phenomena involved. Two cases are extensively…

The Higher Phylogeny of Austronesian and the Position of Tai-Kadai
TLDR
In the proposed phylogeny, Malayo-Polynesian is a branch of Muic, a taxon that also includes NE Formosan (Kavalan plus Ketagalan), and further evidence that the Tai-Kadai languages, contrary to common sense, are a subgroup of Austronesian is presented.
Ryukyuan perspectives on the proto-Japonic vowel system
The Ryukyuan languages are a family of (at least) five endangered languages spoken in the Ryūkyū Islands, an archipelago stretched between Kyūshū and Taiwan and naturally delimited by the Kuroshio…

A Linguistic History of the Forgotten Islands: A Reconstruction of the Proto-Language of the Southern Ryūkyūs
Sakishima comprises a group of islands situated between Okinawa and Taiwan, forming a culturally important bridge between Japan and Taiwan. Studies of the languages of the Ryukyuan islands are…
Language-tree divergence times support the Anatolian theory of Indo-European origin
TLDR
An analysis of a matrix of 87 languages with 2,449 lexical items produced an estimated age range for the initial Indo-European divergence of between 7,800 and 9,800 years bp, in striking agreement with the Anatolian hypothesis.
Bayesian phylogenetic analysis supports an agricultural origin of Japonic languages
TLDR
The results indicate that Japonic languages descended from a common ancestor approximately 2182 years ago, and suggest that the first farmers of Japan had a profound impact on the origins of both people and languages.
Curious parallels and curious connections--phylogenetic thinking in biology and historical linguistics.
TLDR
The parallels between biological and linguistic evolution are reviewed and the historical development of phylogenetic methods in the two disciplines are contrasted and some current problems shared by the two fields are outlined.
Farmers and Their Languages: The First Expansions
TLDR
This work discusses the main complications and specific examples involving 15 language families involved in the geographically uneven rise of food production around the world and their resulting shifts of populations and languages.
