Naukan Yupik language[3] orNaukan Siberian Yupik language (Naukan Yupik:Нывуӄаӷмистун,romanized: Nuvuqaghmiistun) is a critically endangeredEskimo language spoken by c. 70Naukan persons (нывуӄаӷмит) on theChukotka peninsula. It is one of the fourYupik languages, along withCentral Siberian Yupik,Central Alaskan Yup'ik andPacific Gulf Yupik.
Linguistically, it is intermediate between Central Siberian Yupik and Central Alaskan Yup'ik.[4]
Chart example of theoblique case:
| Case | singular | dual | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| Locative | mi | ɣni | ni |
| Abl. / Instr. | məɣ | ɣnəɣ | nəɣ |
| Allative | mun | ɣnun | nun |
| Vialis | kun | ɣkun | təkun |
| Aequalis | tun | ɣtun | tətun |
The non-possessed endings in the chart may cause a base-final 'weak'ʀ to drop with compensatorygemination in Inu. Initialm reflects the singular relative marker. The forms with initialn (k or t) are combined to produce possessed oblique with the corresponding absolutive endings in the 3rd person case but with variants of the relative endings for the other persons.
In proto-Eskimo, *ŋ was often dropped within morphemes except when next to *ə. *ŋ is also dropped under productive velar dropping (the dropping of ɣ, ʀ, and ŋ between single vowels), and *ana becomesii in these areas.
