Of all the [[Alaska Native languages]], Central Alaskan Yup'ik has the most speakers, with about 10,000 of a total Yup'ik population of 21,000 still speaking the language. The five dialects of Central Alaskan Yup'ik include General Central Yup'ik, and the Egegik, Norton Sound, Hooper Bay-Chevak, and Nunivak dialects. In the latter two dialects, both the language and the people are called ''Cup'ik''.<ref name="centralyup'ik">{{cite web |publisher=Alaska Native Language Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks. |url=https://uaf.edu/anlc/languages/centralakyupik.php |title=Central Alaskan Yup'ik |access-date=April 3, 2021 |archive-date=April 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411035617/https://www.uaf.edu/anlc/languages/centralakyupik.php}}</ref> ===Siberian Yupik=== {{Main|Siberian Yupik}} [[File:FMIB 37576 Siberian Eskimos aboard the steamer bowhead, showing their furs to trade after indulging in a lunch of whale blubber.jpeg|thumb|upright|[[Siberian Yupik]] aboard the steamer ''Bowhead'']] Siberian Yupik reside along the Bering Sea coast of the [[Chukchi Peninsula]] in Siberia in the Russian Far East<ref name="kaplanB"/> and in the villages of [[Gambell, Alaska|Gambell]] and [[Savoonga, Alaska|Savoonga]] on St. Lawrence Island in Alaska.<ref name="siberianyupik">{{cite web|url=https://uaf.edu/anlc/languages/siberianyupik.php|title=Siberian Yupik|publisher=Alaska Native Language Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks|access-date=April 3, 2021|archive-date=May 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210508075538/https://www.uaf.edu/anlc/languages/siberianyupik.php}}</ref> The Central Siberian Yupik spoken on the Chukchi Peninsula and on St. Lawrence Island is nearly identical.
