nihongo Sessei was the highest government post of the Ry ky Kingdom below the king the sessei served the function of royal or national advisor.

Though the same Chinese characters which compose the Okinawan language modern Okinawan word sessei are read as sessh in Japanese language Japanese , the position is not quite the same, and the Ryukyuan post is not derived from the Japanese model or system.

It is most closely related to Yaeyama language Yaeyama . citation needed date October 2011 . Phonology In the Yonaguni language, as well as in Miyako language Miyako , Yaeyama language Yaeyama , and other Southern Ryukyuan languages, IPA b is cognate with Standard Japanese IPA w . Yonaguni also has IPA d where Japanese and other Ryukyuan languages have IPA j . Thus, for example, Yonaguni IPA dami n to hurt, to ache is cognate with the archaic or dialectal Japanese verb IPA jame ru to hurt, to ache rather than with Japanese IPA itam u same meaning . Yonaguni IPA d is probably a recent development from an earlier IPA j , however, judging from the fact that even the IPA j in loanwords of Chinese language Sinitic origin is pronounced IPA d by speakers of the Yonaguni language. Yonaguni language also exhibits intervocalic voicing of plosive s, as do many dialects of Japanese. It was once written with the Kaid logogram s. Further reading . . . , 1997.
