*''Japanese'': 與那覇世頭豊見親 ''(Yonahasedo Tuyumya)''

Yonahasedo Tuyumya was a late 14th to early 15th century [[Miyako Island]] elite.

When he traveled to [[Okinawa Island]] to bring Miyako's [[tribute]] to the [[Chuzan|Chûzan]] court in [[1390]], he encountered difficulties communicating with the Okinawan elites, who did not understand his [[Miyako language]]. Thus, he had some twenty Miyako Islanders remain on Okinawa to study [[Okinawan language]].

A stone stele recording these events, and related later events down to the 18th century, long stood at [[Tomari udun]].
