Mikyoan (美京語, meigyaeng-ngyeo [me̞i̯.gjɛŋ.ŋjɤ]) is a Japonic Language spoken in the Yaeyama Archipelago by a population of around 4 million speakers as well as by more speakers in the Mikyoan Diaspora, primarily in urban areas in Japan, the United States, and Canada. As a member of the Japonic Language Family, Mikyoan shares many similarities to the Japanese language and the other Ryukyuan Languages.
Mikyoan features sentence and word-final particles, subject-object-verb word order, and a variety of ideophones. As an agglutinating language, verbs tend to stack several affixes to change or emphasize their meaning in a sentence. Though typically considered subject-object-verb, word order is moderately flexible and can be altered, as long as the verb remains at the end of a sentence. Mikyoan also conjugates verbs differently for politeness and honorifics, and basic vocabulary may also be changed for formal or honorific speech.
Mikyoan vocabulary features a large number of loanwords from Chinese and English, and many words can come in pairs of a Native Mikyoan word, a Chinese loanword, and an English loanword, each of which can be used in different contexts and to varying extents.
