Bibliography of Chukotko-Kamchatkan Linguistics


For a bibliography of ethnographic materials, see the main bibliographic page.

The Indigenous Minority Languages of Russia: Bibliographic Guide is part of the Japanese Endangered Languages Project, with good bibliographies of Chukotko-Kamchatkan and other native Siberian languages. It lists many works (mostly in Russian) which I haven't listed yet.
