Purist ideologies of language and culture—fostered and encouraged by nation states in the interest of homogenization—have been deeply embedded in many countries in the world but also in Japan. As a result, linguistic practices in the Ryukyus have been overlooked, minoritized, and endangered. In the Ryukyus, the last decade saw an ideological shift in linguistic awareness: there are more positive language attitudes toward indigenous Ryukyuan languages in general compared to the past. This chapter investigates how identities of new speakers and traditional speakers of Yaeyaman are constructed, are negotiated, and are changing. By using ethnographic data, I demonstrate how inhibition could arise in the contexts of language revitalization efforts, then locate this phenomenon in larger issues of identity negotiation and indigenous language reclamation.
