| | GeoNative - Koryak - Chukchi |
 | | The Koryak language, spoken by some 4,000 people, is part of the Chukotko-Kamchatkan family. |
 | | Koryak proper is quite close to Chukchi, and, in turn, a couple of dialects (Alutor or Nymylan and Kerek), are considered separate languages by some linguists. |
 | | The Chukchis, relatives of the Koryaks, live in the extreme northeastern part of Siberia, in the area between the Chukchi and Bering Seas, in the Chukotka or Chukchi peninsula, and belong to the Chukchi Autonomous District of the Russian Federation (Magadan Region) and to the Lower Kolyma District of Yakutia-Sakha. |
