Sirenik Eskimo language
Sirenik Yupik, Sireniki Yupik (also Old Sirenik or Vuteen), Sirenik, or Sirenikskiy is an extinct Eskimo–Aleut language. It was spoken in and around the village of Sireniki (Сиреники) in Chukotka PeninsulaChukotka Autonomous OkrugRussia. The language shift has been a long process, ending in total language death. In January 1997, the last native speaker of the language, a woman named Vyie (Valentina Wye) , died. Ever since that point, the language has been extinct; nowadays, all Sirenik Eskimos speak Siberian Yupik or Russian.
