Okinawan mother tongue is not even a "jap dialect".
It is a separate language of its own called Ryukyuan.

Jap gov has never want to recognise Ryukyuan languages for fear of retaining their culture which is different from Japanese.
By preserving Okinawan indigenous culture and language will only highlight the Potsdam Declaration which defines Jap surrender conditions which states
Okinawa is not part of Japan.

Not appropriate comparison.
Okinawans speak hokkien. They mainly migrant from Hokkien province.
You may say their Hokkien is different from mainland or Taiwan.
