	Chukchi people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chukchi, or Chukchee (Russian: чукчи (plural), chukcha, чукча (singular)) are an indigenous people inhabiting the northeasternmost portion of the Russian Federation on the shores of the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea.
		The Chukchi are traditionally divided into the Maritime Chukchi, who had settled homes on the coast and lived primarily from sea mammal hunting, and the Reindeer Chukchi, who nomadised in the inland tundra region with their herds of reindeer.
		Chukchi were educated in Soviet schools and today are almost 100% literate and fluent in the Russian language.

		Chukchee (also spelt 'Chukchi') is a language spoken by a few thousand people inhabiting the coastal and tundra regions of NE Siberia, in the USSR.
		The language is the best-known representative of the small Chukokto-Kamchatkan language group, which itself is classed as a member of the Paleosiberian group, an areal designation for a handful of genetically isolated groups and languages.
		Chukchee is a good example of an ergative language: all transitive subject nominals appear in an ergative case (identical to the instrumental case) and all intransitive subjects and direct objects appear in the absolutive case.
