Hachijō dialects
The small group of Hachijo or Hachijōjima dialects are perhaps the most divergent form of Japanese. They are spoken on the southern Izu Islands south of Tokyo, Hachijō Island and the smaller Aogashima, as well as on the Daitō Islands of Okinawa Prefecture, which were settled from Hachijo in the Meiji period. Based on the criterion of mutual intelligibility, Hachijo may be considered a distinct Japonic language.
Hachijo dialects retain ancient Eastern Japanese features, as recorded in the 8th-century ''Man'yōshū''. There are also lexical similarities with the dialects of Kyushu and even the Ryukyuan languages; it is not clear if these indicate the southern Izu islands were settled from that region, if they are loans brought by sailors traveling among the southern islands, or if they might be independent retentions of Old Japanese.〔Masayoshi Shibatani, 1990. ''The Languages of Japan''〕
==Dialects==
The dialect of Aogashima is quite distinct. There are also numerous dialects on Hachijo Island, with the speech of nearly every village distinct. There may be a few speakers left of the dialect of Little Hachijo Island, which was abandoned in 1969.
