Linguistic history

It would be interesting to have information on the linguistic history of the Bonins.

As you might know, the lingua franca used to be an English pidgin (creole?), but I have no idea what the situation is today. If the English pidgin/creole has survived into the present day, I would suspect it is being replaced rapidly by Hyozyungo (Standard Japanese). --Node 01:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

traffic access

from the mainland father island

• bamboo lawn pier? Father island between week 1 flight, liner " umbrella straw circle " ties at the duration 25 hour half, (Ogasawara marine transport). The worldwide first TSL the " SUPER LINER OGASAWARA " 2006 years in commission schedule, the highest speed per hour 70km, 14,500 tons of gross tonnage, was the expectation which is shortened to approximately 17 hours with passenger several 740 people, after the spring. But, after the operating the Ogasawara marine transport which holds the infidelity in attitude of the Tokyo for the assistance of the deficit which is estimated it rises to annual 10 hundred million Yen, 2005 years announced the commission discontinuance of the TSL in August.

• The Tsukishima pier? Father island

• mother island between month 2 flight, duration 40 hours the tramp which is required (up to passenger 9 embarkation possibility

• also the victory circle).

• In the mother island furthermore it means by liner " stripe circle " to cross from the father island. This way, because from the mainland very it is difficult to access to the Ogasawara archipelago, when the heavy sickness where emergency is required inside the island occurs, it is conveyed to the sulphur island Maritime Self Defense Force sulphur island by [[the helicopter ] of base post, ] it is conveyed in the mainland by the airplane of the Japan Aire Self-Defense Force, or Maritime Self Defense Force the Iwakuni base does the urgent 患 conveyance to the mainland [[by the boat seaplane ] of post ]. In the past " was late and was said, because the nighttime illumination is not installed in the Ogasawara heliport, when the night you become ill, the hand " with, but presently, even at nighttime, it reached the point where it can do urgent 患 transport. The Ogasawara village barracks bus is operated inside the island, (silver pass use yes). There is a sight-seeing taxi, a rental car, a レンタバイク and a レンタサイクル in other things. Bringing inside the island of the private car is difficult.

Ogasawara airport constructive problem

presently, Maritime Self Defense Force [[the boat seaplane ] of Iwakuni base post ] US-1A only there being an airplane which it can come flying to the Ogasawara archipelago, also intended purpose is limited to VIP transport such as urgent 患 transport and Tokyo governor. In the Ogasawara archipelago which does not have the airport, there was demand of Ogasawara airport construction from the time before, airport constructive plan of the 800m which designates father island state promontory area as schedule area was raised, but because as for airport schedule area community of the valuable plant is many, is also the only community in the world, problem of nature conservation has and rises, goal of airport construction completely is not in sight. Because of that, the operation by the large-sized helicopter by way of operation and the Self Defense Force sulphur island base by the private boat seaplane from the Haneda airport, similarly, method such as sea mail from the sulphur island is examined, but if these actualize, as for airport construction conclusion has not come out of the fear of becoming unnecessary. In addition, the long-time inhabitant falls in love is packed although airport construction is eagerly desired, Ogasawara naturally and and the new inhabitant who immigrates seems the unexplored region in order for us to like to leave being passive in airport construction, either opinion of the islander is not been settled.

Cleanup

I did what I could to clean up the page. There were some redundant lines, and other things I thought needed to be added/removed/rearranged. Perhaps the subtropical moist forest part should be its own article? --The chuck 17:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I removed and corrected some erroneous info about transportation. Also added a few lines about the linguistic situation. (Thanks for the requests for info about that.) I would like to help clean up the info done by automatic translation from the Japanese page, but it is a mess.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Long (talk • contribs) 10:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I will also help clean up. Any help is welcome.Haberstr (talk) 08:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
