The Alutiiq language (also called Sugpiak, Sugpiaq, Sugcestun, Suk, Supik, Pacific Gulf Yupik, Gulf Yupik, Koniag-Chugach)
is a close relative to the Central Alaskan Yup'ik language spoken in the western and southwestern Alaska, but is considered
a distinct language. It has two major dialects: Koniag Alutiiq: spoken on the upper part of the Alaska Peninsula and on Kodiak
Island; was also spoken on Afognak Island before it was deserted in the wake of the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake. Chugach Alutiiq:
spoken on the Kenai Peninsula and in Prince William Sound. About 400 of the Alutiiq population of 3,000 speak the Alutiiq
language. Alutiiq communities are currently in the process of revitalizing their language. In 2010 the high school in Kodiak
responded to requests from students and agreed to teach the Alutiiq language. The Kodiak dialect of the language was only
spoken by about 50 persons, all of them elderly, and the dialect was in danger of being lost entirely. |
