Okinawan question. I've seen both っんーめー（ぅんーめー） and っんめー（ぅんめー） recorded for "grandmother" in different reference works. Is this just a regional difference? Or is the initial syllable actually long? #okinawanlanguage #uchinaaguchi #okinawan

Happy Lunar New Year!

May I pass along an Okinawan saying, "chariba choodee!" - meaning that "When we meet, even though it may be once, we are friends/brothers and sisters for life."
