Evaluate the drafted changes
I think what you have is really good and interesting! You were able to add a pretty significant amount of information and find a decent amount of sources. I struggled with that a lot, so well done!! I like what you added in the English borrowings section

sorry my peer review was so late ;;;

here are my suggestions!:

The line you kept from the original says

"Okinawan Japanese (ウチナーヤマトゥグチ, 沖縄大和口, Uchinaa Yamatu-guchi) is the Japanese language as spoken by the people of Okinawa Islands."

yet your next line says "In Okinawan, it goes by Uchinaa Yamatoguchi: Uchinaa meaning "Okinawa", Yamato means "Yamato" and refers to mainland Japan, and the suffix -guchi approximately means "language".[1]"

Is the romanization from the original "Uchinaa Yamatu-guchi" accurate still? or should it be Yamato?

"However, the amount of infuence Ryukyuan has on the Japanese spoken by Okinawans vary on family, age and region" - maybe link the Ryukyuan wiki page here.

The original article says

"Okinawan Japanese has some loanwords from American English due to the United States administration after the Battle of Okinawa."

I know that you added "Because of the many US military bases found in Okinawa, the Okinawan Japanese language has incorporated some English loanwords"

Is there a reason for omitting the "battle of okinawa" aspect? if you think it's irrelevant then that makes sense. Though I do see you touch on it a little in the next section.

Also, maybe adding the hiragana/katakana after terms, depending on how it would be written in okinawan vs standard japanese. はず、ましょう、行きましょうね, or タコライス for example.
