In the nineteenth century English-speaking crews of whaling ships contributed about forty words to the native languages (three Eskimo languages and Chukchi) of the Chukotka Peninsula coast in Russia. These words shed light on the trading relationships involved and on the national origins of the ships' crews. The direction of borrowing was generally from English into Chukchi via Eskimo, or via a trade jargon. In the Siberian Yupik of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, some early loanwords have undergone phonological denativization due to the increased availability of an English model, while on the Chukotka coast English loanwords remain fully integrated into the phonology of Eskimo.
