I can't find a source for ちゅうら. Without an explanation, it isn't clear what relevance 清ら has to the entry. I don't think the x-ref is needed. 美ら and 美しい aren't etymologically related. I don't see a need for the 美しい x-ref.

Added a second xref. Reason: Although 美ら is widely (and, as the first one of the cited websites shows, quite officially) used in Okinawa, i just heard from someone that etymologically the expression ちゅら (ちゅうら) derives from the same root as the old (obsolete?) Japanese 清ら 【きよら; けうら】, so i looked 清ら up on the web, and, yes, it is alive in Okinawa (the last cited reference gives a more detailed explanation)

Well, you probably know the old line that a language is a dialect with an army. It's convenient to put 琉球語 and アイヌ語 in that category here.
