Evenki (Эвэнки/Ēwēnki)

Evenki is part of the Manchu-Tungus sub-group of Altaic languages and has
about 20,000 speakers. It is spoken in the Evenki Autonomous District, or
Evenkia (Эведы Автомоды
Округ) in Russia, and also in parts of China
and Mongolia. Approximately 45% of the Evenki people consider Evenki their
mother tongue. Most of the speakers are elderly and the younger generation
lack a thorough knowledge of the language. This is because until 1980 the
Russian government tried to suppress the Evenki language, but since then
Evenki has been taught in schools.

Evenki, which is also known as Evenk, Avenki, Avenk or Tungus, has much in
common with Mongolian and related languages. It
has been strongly influenced by Yakut, Buryat and Russian.

Evenkia is the remotest inhabited part of Siberia. Until the 1930s, the
Evenki people were mainly nomadic hunters and reindeer herders. Today hunting
and reindeer herding are still important, but they are also involved in argriculture
and industry.

The English word “shaman” comes from the Evenki word meaning “holy man”.

Evenki was first written during the 1920s with a version of the Cyrillic
alphabet. In China it is written the Latin alphabet, and used to be written
with the Traditional Mongolian script.
