The small group of Hachijo or Hachijōjima dialects are perhaps the most divergent 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.
