Nunivak Cupʼig Language
Nunivak Cup'ig or just Cup'ig (own name Cugtun) is a language or separate dialect of Central Alaskan Yup'ik spoken in Central Alaska at the Nunivak Island by Nunivak Cup'ig people (own name Cup'it or Nuniwarmiut). The letter "c" in the Yup’ik alphabet is equivalent to the English alphabet "ch". The Central Alaskan Yupik who live on Nunivak Island (''Nuniwar'' in Nunivak Cup'ig, ''Nunivaaq'' in Central Yup'ik) call themselves ''Cup'ig'' (plural ''Cup'it''). Those who live in the village of Chevak call themselves ''Cup'ik'' (plural ''Cup'it''). The name Cup'ig (with g) is used for the Nunivak Island Yup'ik dialect and the name Cup'ik (with k) is used for Hooper Bay-Chevak Yup'ik dialect. The Cup'ig dialect is threatened. This fact was documented by Dr. Michael E. Krauss of the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska and is illustrated on the map.
