Central Alaskan Yup'ik language
Central Alaskan Yup'ik or just Yup'ik (also called Yupik, Central Yup'ik, or indigenously Yugtun) is one of the languages of the Yupik family, in turn a member of the Eskimo–Aleut language group, spoken in western and southwestern Alaska. Both in ethnic population and in number of speakers, Central Alaskan Yup'ik is the largest of the languages spoken by Alaska Natives. As of 2010 it was also the second largest aboriginal language in the United States in terms of numbers of speakers.〔(US Census Bureau. 2011. Native American Languages Spoken in the Home, 2006–2010 )〕 Yup'ik should not be confused with the related language Yupik spoken in Siberia.
==Use==
Central Alaskan Yup'ik lies geographically and linguistically between Alutiiq ~ Sugpiaq and Central Siberian Yupik. The use of the apostrophe in Central Alaskan Yup'ik, as opposed to Siberian Yupik, denotes a long ''p''. The word Yup'ik represents not only the language but also the name for the people themselves (''yuk'', 'person,' and ''pik'', 'real'.)
Of a total population of more than 23,000 people, more than 14,000 are speakers of the language.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yuungnaqpiallerput – The Way We Genuinely Live – Masterworks of Yup'ik Science and Survival )〕 Children still grow up speaking Yup'ik as their first language in 17 of 68 Yup'ik villages, those mainly located on the lower Kuskokwim River, on Nelson Island, and along the coast between the Kuskokwim River and Nelson Island.
The difference between Yup'ik and Iñupiaq is roughly the same as the difference between Spanish and French.
