The '''Lakup languages''' refer to two closely related languages spoken in far-eastern [[Kasiiralq]]. While often presented as two dialects of a single language, mutual intelligibility is low due to differences in grammar, lexicon and, to a lesser extent, phonology.


The Lakup languages together make up a primary branch of the [[Tulipi-Lakup languages|Tulipi-Lakup]] language family, along with the distantly related [[Tulipian languages]]. Both branches of Lakup have been heavily influenced by the [[Patuk language]] due to a long-lasting association with the Patuk vodholk peoples. Hill Lakup has also been influenced to some degree by [[Tulipik language|Tulipik]] and [[Itsivqutki language|Itsiqutki]], while Tundra Lakup has seen some influence from the [[Cheshog languages]].
Both Lakup languages are considered endanged; of these two, Hill Lakup is considered the most severely at risk, with much of its ethnic population having switched to Patuk over the past century.
