The Chukchi 

Share the knowledge! :D

Thank you, I hope you found it interesting!

What an interesting genealogy! I'm glad the video has helped to shed some light. If I may, do you have any Russian ancestry? If so, it's entirely plausible another ethnic group might have popped up in your family tree - the Aleuts!

I'm glad you found the video useful - feel free to check out some of my other content for more information about the people and places of Russia!

@@allaboutrussia2022 greetings from new york as well. i went to the nys museum of natural history and saw a chukchi warrior’s raiment and arms on display. this is part of my rabbit hole of looking into the chukchi people thank you for the video!

@@Soviless99 Very cool! I'm glad that these cultural exchanges are still going on, they provide a very cool insight!

@@allaboutrussia2022 yes thank you for the videos you provide. i’ve always loved russian history and how its a mix of asia and the west.

I'm glad you're enjoying the content - feel free to check out some of my other videos for more!

Glad to help!

I hope you found it useful!

like Turkmen and Uyghur Turkic peoples

Interesting....I must confess I know next to nothing about indigenous Brazilian languages.

It's a fair comment and one I should perhaps quantify with this statement: The Chukchi language has influenced neighbouring languages (Koryak, Itelmen etc.) and share some of the same Russian-influenced grammatical points (as languages evolve) - however the language itself, in the strictest sense, is unrelated to neighbouring languages - as in it has not sprung from the same core vocabulary (for example as Tatar and Chuvash have). My point here is that Chukchi has not evolved from (according to my research) a proto Chukotkan language that shares roots with the other languages in the Chukotkan-Kamchatkan grouping.

Thank you. I reuploaded it as the music later in the video was dominating everything.

The underestimation of indigenous communities by expanding colonial powers certainly paid a heavy toll. I hope you enjoyed the video!

That is a really interesting question. Honestly, I am not certain at all. I would guess that (as with many parts of the Russian Federation) it would not be well based on the simple fact that anti-LGBTQ laws have been passed in Russia and Chukotka is a part of that.

Great question: in truth it wasn't necessary, but on this channel I like to show the language families for context and to make connections. Technically, Chukchi is in the Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family tree, but this does not mean the language are similar to each other - just that features were similar enough to be grouped together.

@@allaboutrussia2022 do not think so. The language family is mostly accepted and not mentioned as a “proposed language family”. And since linguists should not find a language family for all languages if they were not sure they would claim that. We know many other groups and families share common features and vocabularies but they are not considered as members of the same language family because of them.

@@Kurdedunaysiri You're perfectly at odds to disagree with the category or family grouping it should be in. For the moment, however, the language is generally accepted as being within the Chukotkan-Kamchatkan linguistic family tree en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chukchi_language

@@allaboutrussia2022 that is what I am saying. The language has relative languages. The language is related some other languages !

@@Kurdedunaysiri Ah, apologies, allow me to clarify: The reason I say Chukchi is unrelated to any nearby language is that linguists have determined much of the vocabulary does not share common terms with Koryak, Kamchadal etc. It's in the same family tree largely from how the language utilitises grammatical functions, not the words themselves.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Glad you liked it!

@@allaboutrussia2022 Your welcome. :D
