*''Japanese'': 琉歌 ''(ryuuka)''
''Ryûka'' is the most standard form of traditional poetry in the [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryûkyû Islands]]. A standard ''ryûka'' consists of four lines, with an 8-8-8-6 mora structure (in contrast to the 5-7-5-7-7 structure of Japanese ''[[tanka]]'').
Songs in the classical Okinawan repertoire of ''uta-sanshin'' (song accompanied on ''[[sanshin]]'') are often based on ''ryûka''.
