The members have been working with the researcher up to now and creating a language revitalization contents such as a picture book in local languages, continuing the text documentation.
The part of this project that collaborates with the local people formed a foundation of language revitalization project. The research result in Yonaguni island has been applied to Okinoerabu island, where another Ryukyuan language is spoken, and expanded to a general research project on language revitalization. I have given invited talks at many places such as elementary and high schools and a series of symposiums in Yonaguni and Okinoerabu islands so that the academic research can reach to the local community.
