Deg Xinag is a Northern Athabaskan language spoken by the Deg Hit’an peoples in Shageluk and Anvik and at Holy Cross along
the lower Yukon River in Alaska. The language is nearly extinct, as most people are shifting to English. The language was
referred to as Ingalik by Osgood (1936). While this term sometimes still appears in the literature, it is today considered
pejorative. The word Ingalik from Yup'ik Eskimo language: < Ingqiliq Indian. Engithidong Xugixudhoy (Their Stories of Long
Ago), a collection of traditional folk tales in the Deg Xinag language by the elder Belle Deacon, was published in 1987 by
the Alaska Native Language Center. A literacy manual with accompanying audiotapes was published in 1993. |
