Do you have any resources you suggest for other Ryukyuan languages? Or even information regarding dialects within うちなーぐち？

Other Ryukyuan Languages Resources

Besides the (now tentatively offline) Nakijin Dialect Dictionary that can be found on this blog’s resources page, I do not have much resources for other Ryukyuan languages, not that I have been looking that much as I have been focusing on the Okinawan language, primarily on then Naha dialect with the Shuri and Kunigami dialects also in the periphery. 

That being said, In have recently purchased the almost $400 book Handbook of the Ryukyuan Languages which includes a detailed grammar of not just Okinawan, but of the Amami language, Okinoerabu Ryukyuan (I say “Ryukyuan” here as it’s hard to tell if Okinoerabu is a dialect of the Amami language or a dialect of the Okinawan language thanks to its position in the Ryukyuan continuum), the Tarama dialect of the Miyakoan language, the Hateruma dialect of the Yaeyama language, the Yonaguni language (known natively as Dunan) and even a little bit of Proto-Ryukyuan. If anyone is interested in any particular language, I will see what I can do in conveying the information from this $400 book here on this blog.Though remember that these are grammars and not really dictionaries or lexicons. 

I’ve been meaning to add these pdfs to the resources page, but there also are some intro books (in Japanese) to Okinawan dialects and Ryukyuan languages though I haven’t gone through them myself yet.
