Each culture has their own distinct language. In Okinawa which is the southest isaland in Japan, "Uchinaaguchi", the Okinawan Language, had been spoken by people from generation to generation. However, less and less young people today are not able to understand Uchinaaguchi.
We must not lose our own Island language!
