.
(the japonic language family includes the japanese language spoken on the main islands of ‘japan’ as well as the ryukyuan languages spoken in the ‘ryukyu islands’)
.
(the family is widely accepted by linguists, and the term “japonic languages” was coined by ‘leon serafim’)
(the common ancestral language is known as ‘proto-japonic’)
(the essential feature of this classification is that the first split in the family resulted in the separation of all dialects of Japanese from all varieties of ‘ryukyuan’)
(according to ‘shiro hattori’, this separation occurred during the “yamato period” (250β710))
(scholarly discussions about the origin of ‘japonic languages’ present an unresolved set of related issues)
.
(the clearest connections seem to be with toponyms in ‘southern korea’, which may be in ‘gaya’ (aka ‘kara’) or other scarcely-attested languages)
