For three years from 1997 to 1999, a pilot study of an unresearched area in the main islands of Okinawa was carried out. The study, entitled "An investigation of the Kunigami Benoki-Shimajiri Zamami dialects in Okinawa", was supported by the Ministry of Education with the subsidiary research fund (Kagaku kenkyuuhi hojokin). The research objective in 1997 was the Benoki dialect spoken in Benoki of the Kunigami district and Oku dialect spoken in Oku near Benoki whereas that in the following yeas was the Tokashiki dialect spoken in Tokashiki island near Zamami island of the Shimajiri district. The aim this study was to clarify and systematize the characteristics of the three dialects in related to the following aspects : phonomics, conjugations of verbs and adjectives particles and lexicon. As far as the phonological features of the Benoki and Oku dialects are concerned, the study reveals the following findings :(1) Syllables beginning with [w] in standard japanese tend to begin with [gw] … More . For instance, [gwahamunsa : ] (youth). Needless to say, there are cases where the initial [w] remain. For instance, [wain] (to break). This phenomenon, which is apparently absent in other Kunigami dialects and Ryuukyuu dialects, characterizes particularly the Benoki and Oku dialects. It should be pointed out that this finding is important in the way that it successfully describe one of the remaining features of the two dialects at this stage when native speakersare remarkably decreasing. This finding is also expected to become an important data for the study of japanese phonorogy.(2) Aspiration-nonaspiration oposition in the Oku dialect can be observed. For example. However, the number of aspiration-nonaspiration pair are deceasing.(3) Syllables beginning with [k] in standard japanese tend to begin with [h]. Characteristics of the Tokashiki dialect include the followings.(1) The phonological structure of Tokashiki dialect is in general close to that of the Shuri and Naha dialects.(2) The initial [h] is in transition to change from [Ф] to [h]. Phonological features alone as mentioned above indicate the importance of the Ryuukyuu dialects in the area of linguistic study. Nevertheless, a large number of dialects in Okinawa remain unresearched. It will be one of our urgent tasks to clarify the feature of dialects spoken in those "unresearched areas". Less

从1997年到1999年的三年中，对冲绳主要岛屿的一个未经研究的地区进行了试点研究。这项研究题为“冲绳的国上别木-岛尻座间见方言调查”，得到了教育部附属研究基金（科学研究基金）的支助。1997年的研究对象是国神地区的别之木的别之木方言和别之木附近的奥的奥方言，而在接下来的几年里，研究对象是岛尻地区的座见岛附近的托卡敷岛的托卡敷方言。本研究的目的是从语音、动词和形容词的变化、小品词和词汇等方面对三种方言的特点进行梳理和系统化。就边野古方言和奥古方言的语音特征而言，研究发现：（1）标准日语中以[w]开头的音节倾向于以[gw]开头开始; ...更多信息 .例如，[gwahamunsa：]（青年）。不用说，在某些情况下，最初的[w]仍然存在。例如，[]（打破）。这种现象在其他的国上方言和龙丘方言中是不存在的，特别是在边野古和奥古方言中。应该指出的是，这一发现很重要，因为它成功地描述了这两种方言在本族语使用者明显减少的这一阶段的剩余特征之一。这一发现也有望成为日语语音学研究的重要资料。(2)在奥库方言中可以观察到吸气-不吸气的对立。比如但是，抽吸-非抽吸配对的数量正在减少。(3)标准日语中以[k]开头的音节往往以[h]开头开始。十敷方言的特点包括以下几点。(1)十敷方言的音系结构大体上接近首里和那霸方言。(2)初始[h]处于从[]到[h]的过渡中。以上所述的语音特征本身就表明了琉球方言在语言学研究领域的重要性。然而，冲绳的大量方言仍然没有得到研究。弄清这些“未研究地区”的方言特点，是我们的当务之急。少
