Siberian history is underrated imo, good job!

In 1997 there were still two speakers of Kerek remaining.
By 2005 the language was considered an extinct language

According to the 2010 census, there were 10 people claiming Kerek as their native language, a number which may include partial speakers and non-speakers who claim the language as part of their ethnic heritage.

In 2010, there were only 4 people registered as ethnic Kereks in Russia.

(There is a difference between the language and the ethnicity).

Itelmen had only 82 remaining speakers in 2010 and is is classified as Critically Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

I've just recently read about this endangered language family, very interesting video as always!

I live in New Mexico and know a couple words of Navajo, and I have a friend in Alaska who speaks Tlingit so a video soon on the Na-Dene languages would be awesome! Keep the good work up Costas!

Its awesome that you're doing every language family in the world, has your own style to it too

[Trilogine]

im so excited by the recent uploads about languages centered in asia! great work as always!

[regabrielexv]

So sad see this entire language family almost disappear in less than two centuries. Great video!

[zalqert]

Always sad seeing languages die in these videos, especially when it happens in more recent history. Great video btw.( Recommented because YouTube autodeleted my comment)

[adrianelegislador]

So many unheard of languages in the deepest parts of the world! Very intriguing.

[cockroach]

Another language family that you can check off. Thanks for the map!

Very good video. Pretty sad to see this family endangered and almost half its languages die off.

"Chukotko" and "Kamchatka" are really fun to say!

[fullcirclehistory]

Love these vids, a video about the Khoisan languages would be interesting.

Didn’t know that proto-chukotko-kamchatkan was so deep in central Siberia

[japik]

On the first few minutes of this video, the urheimat of PCK (proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan) is within the Lena River basin, am I right?

Quite interesting, as I thought, especially in the field of alternate history. And excellent video, by the way.

Thank you for the video, I have ancestors belonging to this group and as such I find this particularly interesting.
Regarding the location and migration of the proto-language in the past, is what is shown in the video more based in hypothesis or is there any evidence for that being the case? Are there alternative hypotheses in this regard?
Also the video shows the languages splitting at the same time, I'm assuming this is a simplification? If I'm not mistaken the Alyutor, Kerek and Koryak languages are more closely related to each-other than to Chukchi, so I would assume they would have diverged in at least two steps.

[flasherrus]

Thank you for video!
Will the Tungusic languages be next?

149 BC: The language began to diverge into two different branches.

[洪天貴福]

I can see at some points of time the proto-eskimo-aleut (?) was pushing proto-chukotko-kamchatkan towards the south for a while. After they left those lands and asia, chukotko-Kamchatkans partly came back to the north

[revinhatol]

837 AD: The branches started to split even further.
