    "title": "Korean Perspectives on Southern Ryukyuan Glide Fortition",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>Southern Ryukyuan is one of the two main subgroups of the Ryukyuan language family, consisting of Miyako, Yaeyama, and Yonaguni. One of the notable features of the subgroup is word-initial fortition of Proto-Ryukyuan <em>*w</em> into <em>b</em>, exhibited by all three members; in contrast, only Yonaguni underwent <em>*j</em> &gt; <em>d</em>, while the other two languages have retained the glide value for <em>*j</em>.</p>\n<p>Due to the asymmetry, it is not entirely clear what value should be reconstructed for the Proto-Ryukyuan glides at the Proto-Southern Ryukyuan level. To answer this question, this paper investigates late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Korean transcriptions of Miyako in the <em>Veritable Records of the Chosŏn Dynasty</em>. In particular, it is argued that the initial [(ⁿ)ʑ] found in transcriptions of the name of Irabu Island faithfully reflects Proto-Miyako *[ʑ]. This evidence supports the reconstruction of Proto-Southern Ryukyuan <em>*β</em> and <em>*ʑ</em> as the reflexes of Proto-Ryukyuan <em>*w</em> and <em>*j</em>.</p>",
