Dukha or Dukhan is a nearly extinct Turkic language or dialect variety of Tuvan language spoken by the Dukhan (a.k.a. Tsaatan) herder people in the Tsagaan-Nuur county of Khövsgöl Province in northern Mongolia. Dukhan belongs to the Taiga subgroup of Sayan Turkic (which also includes Soyot–Tsaatan and Tofa).[1] This language is nearly extinct and is only spoken as a second language. The ISO 639-3 proposal (request) code was dkh,[3] but this proposal was rejected.[4]
It is mostly[quantify] related to the Soyot language of Buryatia.[5] Also, it is related to the language of Tozhu Tuvans and the Tofa language. Today, it is spoken alongside Mongolian.[6]
Dukhan morphophonemic units are written with capital letters, similar to its sister languages and standard grammars.[1]
