The Chukchi language is a Palaeosiberian language spoken by Chukchi people in the easternmost extremity of Siberia, mainly in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. According to the Russian Census of 2002, about 7,700 of the 15,700 Chukchi people speak Chukchi; knowledge of the Chukchi language is decreasing, and most Chukchis now speak the Russian language (fewer than 500 report not speaking Russian at all). Chukchi is closely related to Koryak, which is spoken by about half as many as speak Chukchi. The language, together with Koryak, Kerek, Alutor and Itelmen forms the Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family. The Chukchi and Koryaks form a cultural unit with an economy based on reindeer herding, and both have autonomy within the Russian Federation. The ethnonym Chukchi or Chukchee is an Anglicized form of the, which in Chukchi means a man who is rich in reindeer. The Chukchis' term for themselves is [ɬəɣʔorawetɬʔat ɬəɣʔorawetɬʔat], the real people. In the UNESCO Red Book, the language is on the list of endangered languages.
