 | | Examples are to be found in the revival of Hebrew in Israel, French in Quebec, and Catalan in Spain (Fishman, 1991). | | | Even in the United States with its emphasis on conformity, small groups such as the Hutterites and Hasidic Jews have been able to maintain their languages and cultures. | | | Among Indians there is a history of suspicion of non-Indian, native-language efforts based on the history of native-language use by non-Indians. |

| | Central Yup'ik and the Schools |
| | It seems certain that Eskimo-Aleut is not related to any other Native American (Indian) language, and though attempts have been made to link Eskimo-Aleut to various Siberian language families and even to Indo-European (the family to which English belongs), such theories are highly speculative. | | | Layered over the original pre-contact Yup'ik Eskimo culture is a stratum of early nineteenth-century Euro-American Christianity, both Protestant and Catholic. | | | Missionaries successfully persuaded Yup'iks to give up their own religion in favor of Christianity by claiming that the latter was a universally appropriate religion. |

| | freedomforum.org: Two lawsuits challenge Alaska's English-only law |
| | The Alakayak suit alleges that the English-only initiative violates protected freedoms and "imposes a content-based restriction on speech." | | | Alaska's newly adopted "English-only" initiative, which mandates that English is the only language to be "used by all public agencies in all government functions and actions," violates free-speech and free-petition rights, according to two lawsuits filed recently in state court. | | | Proponents of the law say that another of the exceptions — allowing government officials to speak in another language "to the extent necessary to comply with federal law, including the Native American Languages Act" — saves the law from constitutional attack. |

| | Another Eskimo language, the virtually extinct Sirenikski of Siberia, is usually grouped with the Yupik languages although it may actually constitute a third distinct branch. | | | For example, while Inuit uses umiaq for ‘boat’, Yupik languages use some form of angyaq; while Yupik uses maklak for ‘bearded seal’, Inuit uses ugruk. | | | For example, the word for ‘leg’ is iru in all forms of Yupik and niu in Inuit, though both forms come from the same ancient Eskimo word. |
