According to the 2010 census, there are 1,665 speakers of Koryak, which is closely related to <a href="chukchi.htm">Chukchi</a>. </p> <p><iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d4553542.058127774!2d155.04901783170465!3d56.13273596201586!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x5904e2b2a6a01f69%3A0x4cc0fcba86bbb18d!2sKamchatka+Peninsula!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1526899258880" width="400" height="300" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </p> <p>The Koryaks call themselves by two different names: <em>chavchu</em> 'reindeer rearers' or 'rich in reindeer' for the traditionally nomadic reindeer-herding tribes, while the settled tribes call themselves <em>nymylan</em> 'resident, settler'. The word Koryak means 'at the reindeer' or 'with the reindeer', a name for the Koryak coined by a neighbouring people. </p> <p>A method of writing Koryak using the Latin alphabet was devised in 1932 and based on the <em>Chavchyvan</em> dialect. In 1937 the Koryaks had to adopt the Cyrillic alphabet to write their language. </p> <h2>Latin alphabet for Koryak</h2> <p><img src="../images/writing/koryak1.gif" width="602" height="328" alt="Latin
