@Rao665 well i live ... By: Maximo20009. on 12 Oct 11, 05:47:01 @Rao665 well i live in texas... yeah when i typed? country i meant countryside.
@Maximo20009 Lol, ... By: Rao665. on 11 Oct 11, 23:17:38 @Maximo20009 Lol, well differentiate between country and countrySIDE. When? people say
"country" I'm assuming a Nation-state. And as far as the Okinawan countryside, That is a rare thing to see.
@Rao665 if you ... By: Maximo20009. on 11 Oct 11, 23:06:04 @Rao665 if you don't understand my comment than watch the video again. it said that many young Okinawan are leaving the country part of Okinawa and moving to the cities there (like Naha). i never even mentioned Tokyo... and yeah i do like anime but I'm no freak. Just because i like something with a passion does not make me a freak. if you still don't get it... well i can't make it? any easier to understand.
@Maximo20009 lol... ... By: Rao665. on 11 Oct 11, 06:37:04 @Maximo20009 lol...umm Okinawa is a prefecture of Japan which is a country, and there are cities in Okinawa.So i am confused by your comment. In fact Naha city is the densest city in Japan. Even? Tokyo is not as dense as Naha. Are you Okinawan? It's a nice little island. If your one of those "anime freaks" you can forget about it.
@Rao665 well... my ... By: Maximo20009. on 10 Oct 11, 21:49:07 @Rao665 well... my comment has nothing to do with america. it has to do with the fact that a lot of young Okinawan's don't live? in the country even though its so beautiful. they prefer to live in the cities.
@Maximo20009 just ... By: Rao665. on 10 Oct 11, 00:39:19 @Maximo20009 just like Japantown, Tokyo Town, and Little Tokyo are weird names. My point is, Okinawa is America Lite. It is? also Japan Lite, since the culture is somewhat different. But it is VERY Americanized.
@Rao665 ? ... By: Maximo20009. on 09 Oct 11, 21:01:10 @Rao665 ? americantown?? that's a weird name for a place.
Origin, History, ... By: owardis397. on 09 Oct 11, 08:33:26 Origin, History, Genetics, matter more than just language.
Okinawans have same genetics as the kyushu people of japan. But their language is different due to long time isolation.
Cantonese have mixture of genetics between chinese and vietnamese. The language is close to middle chinese of tang dynasty. But there is also 20% of native volcabulary
Basque - It seems they have somewhat similar genetic to irish and spanish, and many of the famous people? in spain are? of basque origin.
@Maximo20009 ... By: Rao665. on 09 Oct 11, 08:28:11 @Maximo20009 there's as much old people in Okinawa as any other place in the? world. if you want to move to Okinawa, prepare to move to Americatown, Japan.
@Rao665 By part, I ... By: owardis397. on 09 Oct 11, 08:20:04 @Rao665 By part, I mean they are now fucking part of people. The basque would surely identify as spanish.
Okinawans are genetically same as japanese. As for Basque genetics, there at least part similar. The difference between cantonese and mandarin can be compared to french and spanish. The original people of guangdong belong? to Namyue ( nam - viet A.K.A vietnam). Cantonese means Yue chinese, not han chinese. They are now assimilated due to intermarriages, but still retained the name.
@UNSeahawk " ... By: Rao665. on 09 Oct 11, 08:06:54 @UNSeahawk "Okinawans are part of okinawans" yes of course. Isn't that the whole point? Okinawans are part of Okinawans. And Basque are not Spanish. So how the? fuck are you going to tell someone with Basque heritage the history of their own culture? and how the fuck are you going to tell an Okinawan that he is Japanese? Cantonese and? Mandarin are both spoken by Han Chinese and are similar languages...The difference between the Basque langauge and Castillian are major. two different families.

Okinawans are part of japanese.
I don't know about basque, but okinawans originated from kyushu. Even cantonese people (including hong kong people) like myself, are in reality not authentic? chinese, but we are part of chinese, but in actual reality we are an genetically mix of chinese and vietnamese.
