Talk:Bonin Islands/Archive 1

Linguistic history
It would be interesting to have information on the linguistic history of the Bonins.

As you might know, the lingua franca used to be an English pidgin (creole?), but I have no idea what the situation is today. If the English pidgin/creole has survived into the present day, I would suspect it is being replaced rapidly by Hyozyungo (Standard Japanese). --Node 01:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

there is no convenience store of 24 hours, but the sales store of the super, restaurant and the pharmacy  et cetera has been even. With the Tokyo, freight cost is assisted only the daily necessaries, stabilization of price is assured. Goods transport from the mainland on " the part which depends the umbrella straw circle " is very large, the sales store livens in entry into port day " of umbrella straw circle ", " the  umbrella straw circle " has been center of life cycle of the Ogasawara archipelago. For example, it is not, at the time " of umbrella straw circular " entry into port, the newspaper of one week the oven stops the home delivery of the newspaper and is arranged into the  sales store.

At that time the circuit being only several circuits, when with the system which proposes telephone call to the  operator, the telephone rushes in it seems that is many also a thing  which is made wait. In addition, noise blended with electronic jamming, was many also a thing where communication becomes difficult. dial immediately telephone call with the mainland which utilizes the communication satellite starts from 1983, has reached to the present. But in regard to the circumstances which utilize the satellite, sound lately, applying on  the country somewhat to aspect of the international call has  been shown. The portable telephone from 1999 years ntt Docomo at portion of the father island and the mother island. You cannot use the i-mode and the FOMA.

Internet
depending upon the advancement of the satellite telephone line, presently dial rise to Integratted Services Digital Network it has become possible,  but because it is not the case that it is connected to the cable, it  does not correspond to broadband ] of regular connection ].  In  addition, every fixed amount fee system which begins the tele hoe  die/di and the like is not applied.  As for the analog circuit with  the fee setting with the contiguity mA treatment with remote island  exception, convenience of Tokyo mainland is assured, but it is not  applied to the digital circuit of Integratted Services Digital  Network.  The mainland [[Guam


 * Saipan is tied in the vicinity of the Ogasawara archipelago, the seabed of the KDDI  the optical fiber the cable to be running, also the fact that  may to be able utilizes this, but there is also a something related to NTT between the KDDI, there is no plan which for the present can be  connected to the Ogasawara archipelago.

With the father island the ground wave, being converted by the UHF wave in the upper chart, it re-is broadcasted from the transmitting  station inside the island, but in also the area of part as the  mainland Tokyo it is designed in such a way that it can be received  with the almost same channel depending upon listening reception,  (however, the Tokyo Broadcasting System, Inc. the TBS:  4ch, Tokyo metropolitan television:  5ch and the Nippon Television Network  Corporation:  It has become the 6ch, as for the NHK-BS the same as the upper chart). As much as 400,000,000 Yen enormous cost is required for satellite communication, for viewing this broadcast, 3,000 Yen in  every month are collected from the islander. TV station to put out part, it is. For satellite relay use, at the time and the like of the heavy rain radio disturbance occurs the occasion where is. In addition, with future terrestrial digital broadcast satellite relay is not used, use  by way of the seabed optical fiber cable is expected.

the radio
in the Ogasawara archipelago relay station of NHK and commercial broadcast FM re-transmission not to be included, because of that the  ultrahigh frequency (FM) as for broadcast it could not hear  completely, reflecting in the ionosphere excluding the narrow  area where also medium-wave broadcasting was limited part, it is  limited to only the nighttime when it reaches. Last day listening possible domestic broadcast is BS * CS radio each bureau the short wave  radio NIKKEI ] of broadcast ] just.

traffic access
from the  mainland father island 


 * bamboo lawn pier? Father island  between week 1 flight, liner " umbrella straw circle " ties at the  duration 25 hour half, (Ogasawara marine transport).    The worldwide  first TSL the " SUPER LINER OGASAWARA " 2006 years in commission schedule, the highest speed per hour  70km, 14,500 tons of gross tonnage, was the expectation which is  shortened to approximately 17 hours with passenger several 740 people, after the spring.  But, after the operating the Ogasawara marine  transport which holds the infidelity in attitude of the Tokyo for the  assistance of the deficit which is estimated it rises to annual 10  hundred million Yen, 2005 years announced the commission  discontinuance of the TSL in August.


 * The Tsukishima pier? Father  island


 * mother island between month 2 flight, duration 40 hours the tramp which is required (up to passenger 9 embarkation possibility


 * also the victory circle).


 * In the mother island furthermore it means by liner " stripe circle " to cross from the father island.   This way, because from the mainland very it is difficult to access to  the Ogasawara archipelago, when the heavy sickness where emergency is  required inside the island occurs, it is conveyed to the sulphur  island Maritime Self Defense Force  sulphur island by the helicopter ] of base post,  ] it is conveyed in the mainland [[by the airplane of the Japan Aire Self-Defense Force, or Maritime Self Defense Force the Iwakuni base does the urgent 患 conveyance to the mainland [[by the  boat seaplane ] of post ].  In the past " was late and was said,  because the nighttime illumination is not installed in the Ogasawara  heliport, when the night you become ill, the hand " with, but  presently, even at nighttime, it reached the point where it can do  urgent 患 transport.   The Ogasawara village barracks bus is operated inside the island,  (silver pass use yes).  There is a sight-seeing taxi, a rental car, a  レンタバイク and a レンタサイクル in other things.   Bringing inside the island of the private car is difficult.

Ogasawara airport constructive problem
presently, Maritime Self Defense Force the boat seaplane ] of Iwakuni base post ]  [[US-1A only there being an airplane which it can come flying to the Ogasawara archipelago, also intended purpose is limited to VIP  transport such as urgent 患 transport and Tokyo governor.   In the Ogasawara archipelago which does not have the airport, there  was demand of Ogasawara airport construction from the time before,  airport constructive plan of the 800m which designates father island  state promontory area as schedule area was raised, but because as for  airport schedule area community of the valuable plant is many, is also the only community in the world, problem of nature conservation has  and rises, goal of airport construction completely is not in sight.   Because of that, the operation by the large-sized helicopter by way of operation and the Self Defense Force sulphur island base by the  private boat seaplane from the Haneda airport, similarly, method such  as sea mail from the sulphur island is examined, but if these  actualize, as for airport construction conclusion has not come out of  the fear of becoming unnecessary.   In addition, the long-time inhabitant falls in love is packed although airport construction is eagerly desired, Ogasawara naturally and and  the new inhabitant who immigrates seems the unexplored region in order for us to like to leave being passive in airport construction, either  opinion of the islander is not been settled.

Cleanup
I did what I could to clean up the page. There were some redundant lines, and other things I thought needed to be added/removed/rearranged. Perhaps the subtropical moist forest part should be its own article? --The chuck 17:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I removed and corrected some erroneous info about transportation. Also added a few lines about the linguistic situation. (Thanks for the requests for info about that.) I would like to help clean up the info done by automatic translation from the Japanese page, but it is a mess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Long (talk • contribs) 10:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I will also help clean up. Any help is welcome.Haberstr (talk) 08:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
