Bogoras Waldemar. Chukchee: essay of a comparative study of Chukchee group of languages

Washington: Government Printing Office, 1922. — 273 p.Boas Franz (ed.). Handbook of American Indian languages. Part 2. - (Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 40) - pp. 631-903.The following grammatical sketch of the Chukchee group of languages is based on a manuscript by Mr. Bogoras, in which all the main facts presented here are contained. The group of languages treated in this sketch includes the Chukchee, the Koryak, and the Kamchadal. Of these, the first two are closely related, while the Kamchadal shows markedly divergent forms. Its phonetics are more complicated than those of the other two languages, and it seems to have preserved some ancient traits. Its morphology, however, is obscured by the recent process of Russianization, which has had a marked influence upon the language of the people.Phonetics
