The Alutiiq language (also called Sugpiak Sugpiaq Sugcestun Suk Supik Pacific Gulf Yupik Gulf Yupik Koniag-Chugach) is a close relative to the Central Alaskan Yup’ik language spoken in the western and southwestern Alaska but is considered a distinct language. It has two major dialects: Koniag Alutiiq: spoken on the upper part of the Alaska Peninsula and on Kodiak Island; was also spoken on Afognak Island before it was deserted in the wake of the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake.
