Central Siberian Yupik Language - Subgroups

Subgroups

Chaplino (the largest Yupik language of Siberia, the second one being Naukan), or Ungazighmiistun, is named after Ungaziq (Novoe Chaplino), a toponym. The word Ungazighmii / Уңазиӷмӣ (prononce:, plural Ungazighmiit / Уңазиӷмӣт ) means "Ungaziq inhabitant(s)". People speaking this language live in several settlements in south-eastern parts of Chukchi Peninsula (among others Provideniya, Uelkal, Sireniki), also on Wrangel Island and Anadyr city, Novoye Chaplino. According to another terminology, these people speak Chaplino, and Ungazighmiit people speak one of its dialects, alongside with other dialects spoken by Avatmit, Imtugmit, Kigwagmit — and these can be divided further into even smaller dialects.
