Is there any website like HighBeam which has a searchable database of old Japanese newspapers?

You'd have to find a local research library that subscribes if you want to use them for free for an extended period. For a long time, Japanese newspapers printed "shukusatsuban" (<a href="https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%B0%E8%81%9E%E7%B8%AE%E5%88%B7%E7%89%88" class="extiw" title="ja:新聞縮刷版">ja:新聞縮刷版</a>), which were basically bound versions of the newspaper, 1/4th the size. Again, major research libraries should have these (though some are throwing them out as they subscribe to the database).

However, I just checked JK and not only does the Daijisen say nothing like this, none of the other reference sources it includes says it either. Here is ALL that the Daijisen states: "東京都新宿区に本部がある私立大学。明治14年(1881)設立の東京物理学講習所に始まり、東京物理学校を経て、昭和24年(1949)新制大学として発足。" (Note you can also get this on Kotobank: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://kotobank.jp/word/%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E7%90%86%E7%A7%91%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6">[3]</a>.)

supposed local names to the articles of Japanese municipalities, e.g., <a href="/wiki/Miyakojima,_Okinawa" title="Miyakojima, Okinawa">Miyakojima, Okinawa</a>. </p> <dl><dd>{{nihongo|'''Miyakojima'''|宮古島市|Miyakojima-shi|[[Miyako language|Miyako]]: ''Myaaku'', [[Okinawan language|Okinawan]]: ''Naaku''}} is ...<a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Miyakojima,_Okinawa&amp;oldid=606720828">[4]</a></dd></dl> <p>Here I point out several problems and propose a solution. </p> <ul><li>You may naïvely believe that there are 6 languages, Amami, Kunigami, Okinawa, Miyako, Yaeyama and Yonaguni. Each of these "languages" is an aggregate of languages in reality. It is like a language family. It is not something to be associated with particular word forms unless you are discussing proto-languages. "A Miyako word form" sounds like a <i>Germanic</i> word form.</li> <li>In Amami, Okinawa, Miyako and Yaeyama, every community has its own language. There are about 800 communities (<i>shima</i>). Thus there would be about 800 languages. They are the least controversial units. Every professional linguistic survey reports the community the informant belongs to. They are grounded on the speakers' own perception.</li> <li>These languages are characterized by radical sound changes that happened relatively recently. This means that you can find various word forms and none of them is the standard. People are usually well aware of differences between their own language and those of their neighbors.</li> <li>There is no lingua franca other than Standard Japanese. The so-called Okinawan language is just a language of south-central Okinawa. To be precise, the male members of the former samurai class in Shuri (used to) speak a social dialect that is intentionally differentiated (phonetically and lexically) from that of commoners. They have never try to construct a standard language to be spoken <i>nationwide</i>. For people of the Miyako Islands, people of the Okinawa Islands are Others rather than Selves. Adding an Okinawan word form to an article of Miyako is inappropriate.</li> <li>Comparative linguists cluster these languages to build a tree, according to typological similarities or phylogenetic relatedness. Different criteria result in different trees. There is no consensus. UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger lists 6 "languages" but it is just one of many proposals. Uemura Yukio, whose short article is cited by UNESCO, actually presented two proposals: (1) the north-south division and (2) 5 languages of Amami, Okinawa, Miyako, Yaeyama and Yonaguni. He did not recognize Kunigami. Every original proposer of a tree is aware of its fragile status. Unfortunately, "authoritative" UNESCO is used to launder one theory in Wikipedia.</li> <li>Language or dialect? That does not matter as long as you choose one and mechanically apply it to every node in a tree. A problem arises only when you try to make the language/dialect distinction (or language variety is politically correct, huh?) somewhere in the tree. Such "languages" as opposed to "language varieties" are artificial. They are product of scholarly debate. It is like discussing whether a node is a family or genus in biological classification. They are independent of the speakers' own perceptions.</li> <li>Now let's take an example. Kunigami is a terrible misnomer if you intend to include Okinoerabu and Yoron (and south-central Kikai? That's highly disputed). Probably such a language is not recognized by its speakers. And they do not consider Kunigami District as the center. The label "Okinoerabu-Yoron-Northern Okinawa" reflects the reality more faithfully.</li> <li>It is wrong to equate the Kunigami language with the language of Yonamine, Nakijin. The language of Nakijin is well documented because it's home to a famed linguist Nakasone Seizen. Again, no one thinks Nakijin is the standard of the so-called Kunigami language. In fact, Nakijin is exceptional in many ways. For example, palatalization (ki > chi) occurred in Nakijin but not in many other places. This means that the word <i>Okinawa</i> is <i>Huchinaː</i> in Nakijin but <i>Hukinaː</i> elsewhere. To be precise, the initial <i>h-</i> is not ubiquitous and you can find yet another word form, <i>Ukinaː</i>. Adding <i>Huchinaː</i> as the Kunigami language word form is like a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Advocacy" title="Wikipedia:Advocacy">political campaign</a> to promote Nakijin as Standard Kunigami. Such a campaign is legitimate only if it is a concensus among its speakers. That's not the case here.</li> <li>Again, 6 "languages" are artificial products of linguists. And it's important to note that identifying 6 languages does not mean to agree to construct 6 standard languages. It does not mean that linguists agree to eliminate internal diversity by standardization. Linguist Nishioka Satoshi raised concerns about the possible threat posed to minorities-within-minorities by UNESCO.

If they do in the future, we may happily reflect that on Wikipedia.</li> <li>Local names have been added to various articles, but I decide to start with municipalities because they are modern products that cover numerous different communities. Take <a href="/wiki/Taketomi,_Okinawa" title="Taketomi, Okinawa">Taketomi-chō</a> (<b>town</b>) for example. It covers the islands of Iriomote, Taketomi and Hateruma among others. The <b>island</b> of Taketomi is referred to as <i>Teːdun</i> (&lt; *<i>Taidun</i> &lt; *<i>Takidun</i>) on the <b>island</b> of Taketomi. This is an innovative form. As far as I know, people from other islands use the more conservative form <i>Takidun</i>, but you might find other word forms. Taketomi is the name of an <b>island</b> and it has local word forms. But what about the name of the <b>town</b>? I suspect that when people from various communities come together, they use Standard Japanese for communication. Even when people speak their own language, they often borrow words from Standard Japanese. For example, people from Kikai Island of the Amami Islands borrowed the word Okinawa from Standard Japanese because it is not in their native vocabulary <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.ninjal.ac.jp/endangered/common/pdf/report_11-01.pdf#276">[5]</a>. To keep supposed local word forms in the article, you need to verify that they are indeed used as the town's name.</li></ul> <p>So, I propose the following solution. </p> <ol><li>Delete word forms that are not used in the municipality in question.

whatever happens on another Wikipedia doesn't have any effects here, but the use of kanji in Okinawan is in dispute at Japanese Wikipedia. 沖縄口 (Okinawan language) specifically was removed from
