Ryukyu Kingdom edits
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions to the article on the Ryukyu Kingdom. From what you have written, it does not look like you are a vandal, and do seem to have some sense of what you are talking about. Nevertheless:
 * Chinese and Japanese were most definitely spoken by Ryukyuans, even if only in the major cities of Naha/Shuri.
 * Shinto was never really introduced to Ryukyu during this period in any significant way - Satsuma was trying to hide Japanese influence on Ryukyu from China.
 * The Sanshikan is a council of advisors, not a single regent. Sai On's post was kokushi.
 * Shuri Ō-fu sounds like the kind of thing that could be a Ryukyuan legislature, but the term has never come up in any of my research, so I'm sticking with Sanshikan, the council of elders and advisors that actually made policy and oversaw its enforcement.
 * Finally, "Ryukyu Koku" is not the Chinese pronunciation, and so I have changed it back to liu kiu guo. Please note that "Ryūkyū-Ō-koku" is mentioned just above that, under the Japanese pronunciation.

Thank you. If you are interested in these subjects, I do encourage you to continue to contribute, but please do be careful that the information you contribute is accurate. LordAmeth 12:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

コメントありがとうございます. LordAmethさんは日本語ができるようなので、日本語と私の下手な英語の両方でお答えします.


 * 琉球國は、日本語で「りゅうきゅうこく」、琉球語で「るーちゅーくく」と発音します.
 * 琉球國 is pronounced "Ryūkyū-koku" in Japanese and "Rūchū-kuku" in Ryukyuan.

 * Shinto was introduceded to Ryukyu in the 15th century.
 * Shuri-ofu(首里王府) is a popular name of the government(included a legislature) in Kyukyu Kingdom. The official name is "Chuzan-Ofu"（中山王府） or "Chuzan-fu"（中山府）.


 * If you say so, I believe you. I will go add your changes back in. 説明ありがとう；僕が迷惑したすみません. Yakuhさんの英語のほうが、僕の日本語より、上手と思います. がんばってね. LordAmeth 07:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
