§ 16. Cotnparison with ChuUcliee 



The principal differences between this system and that of the 

 Chukchee are found in the series of affricatives, laterals, and trills. 

 The laterals and trills are absent in the Koryak of Kamenskoj^e. 



(1) t is often replaced by c (in Kor. II, pronounced like English sli).

(4) Koryak I is pronounced almost like Polish I (Russian x), the tip 

 of the tongue touching the upper teeth, the posterior part of the 

 back of the tongue being depressed at the same time. The tip of 

 the tongue is a little farther back than in the corresponding Polish 

 sound. This sound may be recognized even preceding an i.
