The Dolgan Language ( dolganisch Dolgan. Долган тыла / Dolgan tyla ) is the language of Dolgan , a small indigenous people of the Russian North . It belongs to the northeastern Turkic languages and is particularly closely related to the neighboring Yakut language. The linguistic differences between the two languages are very small, so that Dolgans like Yakuts often understand Dolganic as a Yakut dialect .
Number of speakers
In 1989, in the census of 6945 Dolganen, 5100 of them gave Dolganic as their mother tongue .
As a second language some gave Evenki and Nganasans to Dolganisch so that this language to some extent as a " lingua franca acts". Most Dolgans today see Yakut as the superordinate umbrella language and regard their language as a mere dialect of this language.
Alphabets
The Dolgan language was literate in the 1920s on the basis of the Latin alphabet. Since 1940, the script has been changed to a modified Cyrillic alphabet , which is essentially the same as Yakut. In addition, another one is used which is identical to the Russian alphabet .
