Okinawa is a region in the southernmost part of Japan where inhabitants have traditionally had the longest lifespans on earth. The Okinawan diet is made up mostly of vegetables and legumes, especially soy. It's low in calories and fat, and high in complex carbohydrates. Most of those carbohydrates come from vegetables, with only a small amount of grains or seeds, and no sugar or refined sweets.
Within Japan, Okinawan is often not seen as a language unto itself but is referred to as the Okinawan dialect (æ²ç¸æ¹è¨, Okinawa hÅgen) or more specifically the Central and Southern Okinawan dialects (æ²ç¸ä¸­åé¨è«¸æ¹è¨, Okinawa ChÅ«nanbu Sho hÅgen) . Okinawan speakers are undergoing language shift as they switch to Japanese.Language use in Okinawa today is far from stable. Okinawans are assimilating to standard Japanese due to the standardized education system, the expanding media, and expanding contact with mainlanders.kinawan is sometimes grouped with Kunigami as the Okinawan languages, however some linguists don't use this grouping or claim that Kunigami is a dialect of Okinawan.
