Similarly, the people are called Oroks or Ulta. It is a Tungusic language. The language is spoken in the Poronaysky and Nogliksky Administrative Divisions of Sakhalin Oblast, in the Russian Federation. According to the 2002 Russian census there were 346 Oroks living in Russia, of whom 64 were competent in Orok. Additionally, Oroks live on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. While Novikova claims that the number of speakers in Japan is uncertain, it can be inferred from Lewis that there are three speakers in Japan. There are two dialects of Orok: northern (east Sakhalin) and southern (poronaysky). The variety of the language spoken on the island of Hokkaido belongs to the southern dialect. Orok is used conversationally in everyday situations by the members of the older generation. It is also the language of oral folk literature. Oroks also speak Russian. An alphabetic script, based on Cyrillic, was introduced in 2007. A primer has been published, and the language is taught in one school on the island of Sakhalin.
