| Title: | How far west can Eskimo languages be traced? / Michael Fortescue. |
| Author(s): | Fortescue, Michael. |
| Date: | 2005. |
| Publisher: | 2005: Kobenhavns Universitet |
| In: | Tjukotka i fortid og nutid. (2005.), |
| Abstract: | Discusses surprising assertion made by Julius Klaproth in Asia Polyglotta (1823) that there were groups of Eskimo speakers in coastal region of Chukotka and also at mouth of Anadyr river. This contradicts generally held belief that Naukanski is most recent Eskimo language to have arrived in Chukotka from Alaska and Sirenikski is on extreme periphery of family. Analyses word lists found in Klaproth's work and discusses contradictions with other sources. Concludes that misunderstandings arose for variety of reasons. |
