Outline of Final Research Achievements

With the domain name kikigengo.jp registered for the digital museum, we first established the exhibition spaces for each language to be described to make the museum multilingual. The contents of the museum consist of descriptions based on our research. Exhibits such as multilingual classified vocabulary were made public. Ethnographic photos were also included in ethnographical essays at the museum. Findings about the Jeju dialect of Korean, Simbu languages, Ryukyuan languages and cultures were also published as academic papers, book chapters and scholarly presentations.
