Im hearing words we use in my native tounge like shima, sakey, fuyo, mateba, tae, saya, wara, agi, and I'm an Igorot tribe from the mountains of the northern part of Philippines seems okinawans are closer to Astronesians unlike mainland Japan. I like listening to Okinawan song, i can sing with it easily because it is easy for me to follow the diction of the language.
