The aim of this page is to explain the norms used in the Alutor language entries, and to group information about this language on one site.
The Alutor language, together with Koryak, Chukchi, Itelmen and Kerek form the Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family. Until 1958 the language was considered a village settled dialect of Koryak, but it is not intelligible with traditional nomadic varieties of the language.
Alutor is rarely written, and therefor has no official alphabet. Most of written Alutor is written in a modified version of the Koryak alphabet to match the language's phonology.
The current Alutor alphabet consists of 31 letters:
А а | Б б | В в | В' в' | Г г | Г' г' | Д д | Е е |
Ё ё | З з | И и | Й й | К к | Ӄ ӄ | Л л | М м |
Н н | Ӈ ӈ | О о | П п | Р р | С с | Т т | У у |
Ф ф | Х х | Ы ы | Ь ь | Э э | Ю ю | Я я | |
The name of the entry is that of the word or phrase that you are defining. All nouns must be written in the nominative (absolutive) singular form. See e.g., ӄураӈа or вапаӄ
