| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we recorded audio-visual and audio recordings of natural discourse at nine sites (Ogami, Karimata, Nishihara, Sarahama, Hisamatsu, Nishisazoe, Uechi, Kurima and Miyaguni) in the Miyako language dialects, and created video materials with transcriptions and translations annotated on the recordings. We developed a website to make these widely available to the public, and nine video/audio recordings, including data collected previously, were published on the website. These activities were carried out in collaboration with local high schools, demonstrating the effectiveness of language documentation in collaboration with the local community.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究によって、消滅危機に瀕した言語である宮古語の複数方言について、アノテーション付きの自然談話の映像・音声資料を作成・公開し、研究者をはじめ広く一般に使用することができる形に記録した。これは、方言差を含めた日琉諸語の実態やそれと共に育まれた文化を未来に残し、研究可能性を広げること、また失われていく地域文化の記録として地域の遺産や文化保持・学習のための素材になるという点で、学術的にも社会的にも意義を持つものである。
