Mostly correct. But Ryukyu was a vassal state of China, not part of China. In thousands of years, China prefer to maintain this kind of relationship instead of taking the lands. Today US uses a very similar strategy. Keep those states independent but culturally influence them and set military base in those vassal states. Ryukyu, Japan and South Korea are all vassal states of US.

No, no, they were still Japonic, actually, from Jomon descents. But I have heard that they were mixed up with Austronesians too. Those tattoos are the products of their acculturation with Taiwanese Austronesians and the pre-colonial Filipino. But if you want to ask me about whether possibilities, they were more assimilated with China than Japan at least until Meiji Restoration. And that's how powerful Ryukyuan people are, being Ryukyuan Japanese is maybe only one of the community upon all of Ryukyuan diasporas across the world, from China, until Latin America and Hawaii.

＠絶望ガールさんの認識は間違っています。DNAの遺伝子分析により、本土人のハプログループと琉球列島(沖縄)の人はかなり違いがあります。現在の琉球列島は圧倒的多数の琉球人の子孫です。日本(大和人)本土からの移住は有りますが.145万の沖縄県民に占める割合は極めて少数に過ぎません。琉球列島人の特徴は古モンゴロイドの形質を受けた民族集団であります。アジアのモンゴロイド集団から、かなり古い年代に分岐した民族です。琉球王国が日本に侵略、併合され150年。アメリカ統治の30年を除けば、日本国家に組み込まれて実質120年余に過ぎません。日本本土人と琉球人の交流が活発になったのは、ほんの20数年前からの沖縄観光ブー厶以来に過ぎません。琉球列島人の形質に本土日本人の影響は殆どありません。現在の沖縄の40代以下の世代は栄養摂取が改善され身長が高くなり、高齢な世代とはかなり違いがあります。琉球語を話せ無い世代と、琉球語と日本語を話せる世代とはかなり違います。これは人間の表情は文化的背景 の影響を強く受ける事実を理解しなければならない。解り易い例として、日系南米人は両親が日系人であっても外見上アジア系にしか見えず、日本人には見えない。これは中国残留孤児の日本人が中国人に見えた事と共通する現象と同じです。 要するに人間は遺伝子の影響と同時に文化的背景の強い影響を受ける生物なのです。貴方が現在の琉球(沖縄)において、琉球人が少数派と言う認識は間違っています。沖縄(琉球)に住む人々は絶対的多数の琉球民族です。沖縄人は日本人を構成する琉球民族以外の何者でも無い。縄文人弥生人は日本の歴史上の区分であって、日本とは別の独立国琉球には縄文人などいるはずが無い。

He did not say that okinawan people are chinese. they traded with china, and gained much of their culture from china. even "karate" was originally written 唐手 (karate - pronounced karati - meaning chinese hand) in okinawa before they were invaded by japan in the late 1800s and and japan decided they did not like the reference to China and changed it to *empty* hand. 空手. the Ruuchuu are their own people, related to Japanese yes, but still linguistically, culturally and ethnically distinct.

Are you sure we watched the same documentary? Amusing.. to cover an entire civilization would take more than an 46 minutes of video time, I thought the purpose was to 'Understand Asia' and celebrate cultures? Any thoughts on the naval bases still stationed there Mr. historian?

My mother is Okinawan and her grandfather told her about their people from Hokkaido before Japan and China made their way to Ryukyu. You would have to research not just Ryukyu, China and Japan, but also areas of Russia and Mongolia. My Great Grandfather spoke of the Ainu who are indigenous to Hokkaido and Okinawa. Humans will take what they will and teach what they know and assume to know… but we don’t really know because we weren’t there. Archaeologists piece together artifacts and make up stories based on what they find. Unless you have actual written documentation you never really know the whole story. 🤔
