Chukchi
A Palaeosiberian language spoken by over 10 000 people
in the easternmost extremity of Siberia. Its close relative,
Koryak is spoken by about half that number. The Chukchi and
Koryak form a cultural unit with an economy based on reindeer
herding and both have autonomy within the Russian federation.
