Chukotko-Kamchatkan
The Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages are a small family of languages spoken in northeastern Siberia, primarily in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and the Kamchatka Peninsula. This language family includes several languages, such as Chukchi and Koryak, which are indigenous to the region. These languages are known for their complex grammatical structures and rich oral traditions.
The speakers of Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages are primarily indigenous peoples, including the Chukchi and Koryak communities. These languages are considered endangered due to the declining number of speakers and the influence of Russian, which is the dominant language in the region. Efforts are being made to revitalize and preserve these unique languages and cultures.
