This is a Swadesh list of Chukotko-Kamchatkan and Yukaghir and Yupik languages, specifically Chukchi, Koryak, Itelmen, Kerek, Northern Yukaghir and Southern Yukaghir and one or more others, compared with that of Ainu and Nivkh, as well as English.
These are known as Paleosiberian languages, not a family proper but a term of convenience that includes some language isolates.
Note: Additional vocabulary words have been added after word no. 207 ("name"), since the original lengths of Swadesh lists are either 100 or 207 words.
