Reconstruction talk:Proto-Ryukyuan/misV

Likely Chinese derivation
See also Reconstruction_talk:Proto-Japonic/muysV.

The Haytong Ceykwukki record of this term in Ryukyuan with the hangul spelling 미쇼 lends further weight to a possible connection to Chinese, where 醬 has the 🇨🇬 pronunciation, with that palatal glide. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:27, 24 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Palatalization could also come from following pR *i in the following environments: *k, *g, *s (Amami only), *z, *t, *d, *r (Amami only). This is why there's Old Okinawan . The reason why the palatal glides got reverted in Ryukyuan languages are definitely due to Japanese influence. This probably suggests loanword provenance. We'd probably expect the Ryukyuan words to act bimorphemic, as we see in pR and . Miso in addition to looking like Sino-Japanese is not considered Japonic origin anyway.
