Central Siberian Yupik is a part of the Yupik branch of the Eskimo-Aleut language family. It is spoken mainly along the coast of the Chukchi Peninsula on Bering Strait in the Russian Far East Federal District. It is also spoken in St Lawrence Island, which is part of Alaska, but closer to Russia.
In 2010 there were about 1,350 speakers of Central Alaskan Yup'ik, which is also known as Siberian Yupik, Bering Strait Yupik, Yuit, Yoit or St Lawrence Island Yupik.
The letter Щ is only used in Russian loanwords.
