 ====About====
-[ckt] There are around 5,000 Chukchi speakers, almost exclusively in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in far eastern Russia. As of 2010, this represents about a third of the ethnic population. There are very few monolingual speakers; nearly all Chukchi speakers speak Russian, too. Within Chukotka the language is used to some extent in TV and radio as well as in business. The literary canon is quite minimal. Fewer and fewer Chukchi children are learning their language; although it is used as the primary language of instruction in elementary schools throughout the region, Russian is used thereafter. Ethnologue considers Chukchi to be threatened (6b). Chukchi has a standardized orthography: a modified Cyrillic alphabet. Between 1931 and 1937 a Latin-based alphabet was used officially.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chukchi_language</ref>

+Nivkh is largely agglutinating; it may be polysynthetic,[https://benjamins.com/catalog/tsl.57] but it is also important to note that polysynthesis is not explicitly defined. It has a "developed case system"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nivkh_language#Grammar]. Like Chukchi, Nivkh has a high degree of incorporation.
 ====About====
-[niv]
+[niv] Nivkh has between 100–200 speakers left out of a population of about 6,000.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nivkh_people]. Ethnologue classifies Nivkh as "moribund" (8b), meaning that "the only remaining active users of the language are members of the grandparent generation and older."[https://www.ethnologue.com/cloud/niv] Nivkh was formerly spoken across a wide swath of Manchuria and in the north of Sakhalin. Nowadays speakers are limited to a few villages along the Amgun and Amur rivers and the northern half of Sakhalin. Most Nivkhi speak Russian, including most of those who speak Nivkh. The standard orthography is Cyrillic-based.
