・Yonaguni kanji (Dunan kanji)

1) Similar to both Japanese and Uchinaaguchi (Okinawan), it is possible to write Yonaguni using mixture of kanji and kana.

2) Currently there is no standardized Yonaguni orthography, and the modern Yonaguni writing system typically uses only Japanese Kana.

3) The book 與那國島圖誌 published in 1926 provides the earliest written account of Yonaguni Kanji.

• There are three types of Kanji reading existing in Yonaguni:

1) 音読み (on’yomi) - Sino-Japanese words pronounced using Yonaguni phonology. These words are associated with Chinese sounds and meanings.

道理（どぅり）, related to 道理 （dàolǐ）in Chinese.

異国 （いくく）, related to 異國 （yìguó）in Chinese.

2) 訓読み (kun’yomi) - The native reading of Yonaguni vocabulary with borrowed Kanji from Modern Japanese that represent their meanings. These are not cognates with any modern Japanese words.

一緒（まどぅん）

3) 琉訓 (ryu’kun) - Words that are cognates with Japanese. These words are also a type of kun’yomi because they are pronounced using Yonaguni phonology while they use borrowed Han characters to represent their meanings.

生ち虫（いちむし）, related to いき and  むし in Japanese.

町屋（みしや）, related to まちや in Japanese

大和（だまとぅ）, related to やまと in Japanese.

*It must be noted that since Yonaguni has no standardized writing system, sometimes a word may be written in more than one way. For example, 生ち虫 can be written as 動物 while they are both pronounced as いちむし. The latter one is, obviously, kun’yomi reading.

・Example

腹病どぅきりゃ医者ぬ家んき行てぃてぃ来たよ。

(舊字體: 俺か゚一番增ちゃるうちなーぐちぬ語學資料。😍

此や「阿蘭陀ーあたんてぃん大和人あたんてぃん沖繩んき來てぃ、言葉指し差し乍沖繩ぬ島人とぅ話どぅきらりるうちなーぐちぬ書物」どぅない居る。

いるか゚うちなーぐちや「方言」やあらぬんでぃ思い居ん。😐)

🌹This is my favourite book for learning Uchinaaguchi (Okinawan). 😍

This book is designed for newcomers to communicate with locals. Even if you don't know the word, you can just point on the pictures in the book and show it to a native speaker. 

But I personally don't think that Uchinaaguchi is a "dialect". 😐

🌸這是我最喜歡的沖繩語教材。  😍

無論你是日本人還是外國人，這本書非常適合那些想使用沖繩語和沖繩當地人溝通的學習者。對話過程中如果遇到較困難的部分，學習者亦可用手指著書內的圖片以消弭語言隔閡。 

Yonaguni does not have a strong written tradition, meaning everyone can have their own spelling style. To make the language more universally understood, spaces are used between each word.

taigu i: haiti gakkuNki hiri.

たいぐ　いー　はいてぃ　がっくんき　ひり。

タイグ　イー　ハイティ　ガックンキ　ヒリ。

When Kanji are employed, spaces are no longer needed. Instead, Rubi characters (annotative glosses) placed above or beside each logographic character are used. This is commonly seen in printed texts.

たい    いーは　　　がっく　　ひ   早  ぐ御飯食いてぃ学  校  んき行り。

When typing, Rubi characters (annotative glosses) are placed after the sentence or each Kanji.

早ぐ御飯食いてぃ学校んき行り。 （たいぐいーはいてぃがっくんきひり。）

早（たい）ぐ御飯（いー）食（は）いてぃ学校（がっく）んき行（ひり）り。

For those who have learned the most basic words by heart, it is not necessary to write Rubi charachters.
