User talk:Damianperea31/Okinawan Japanese

Second draft review
Great job, Damian! I think this article is looking really good. A few comments:


 * 1) The first two lines still contain both Yamatu and Yamato. It seems like they should be the same, right?
 * 2) I really like the way you reworked the history section.
 * 3) Please check the formatting of the examples throughout. For instance, you mostly style English translations with double quotes, but later they are just in parentheses. They should be consistent.
 * 4) I am wondering about the last sentence of the "Differences..." section, the one that starts with "Many Okinawan youth...." This seems kind of obvious to me - youth use slang - so I'm not completely sure what this claim is about. I wonder if you might consider revising it or clarifying. Also, we're talking about a dialect of Japanese, so it's not really clear to me how the terms could be borrowed from Japanese. Is this intended to mean that Okinawan Japanese contains some slang terms that also exist in standard Japanese? Again, I'm not sure that's hugely surprising - I'd imagine that's true for a lot of terms.
