Date Digitized: June, 2010.
Map Description:
This maps displays areas of languages and language contacts on both Sakhalin and Kamchatka. It is important to note that after the small pox and influenza epidemics, the number of Itelmens fell from 10,000-12,000 in the 1760s to 1,800 to 1,900 in the 1820s on Kamchatka. The Southern Itelmen language on Kamchatka was the first to become extinct at the end of the 19th century. At approximately the same time on Kamchatka, the Ainu language also became extinct. In regards to the situation on Sakhalin, no more than 100 Ainus remained there at the beginning of 1949. One should note that according to 'Sakhalin Calendar for the year 1898' the Ainu language was primarily spoken on the island by a variety of aboriginal tribes. It wasn't until after the Second World War that massive Russification of the tribal languages took place.

UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger is a database intended to raise awareness about language endangerment and the need to safeguard the world’s linguistic diversity among policy-makers, speaker communities and the general public, and to be a tool to monitor the status of endangered languages and the trends in linguistic diversity at the global level.
Degrees of endangerment
The map designates the degrees of endangerment as based on UNESCO’s Language Vitality and Endangerment framework.
This establishes six degrees of vitality/endangerment based on nine factors. Of these factors, the most salient is that of intergenerational transmission.

| Degree of endangerment | Intergenerational Language Transmission | safe | language is spoken by all generations; intergenerational transmission is uninterrupted >> not included in the map |
|---|---|
| vulnerable | most children speak the language, but it may be restricted to certain domains (e.g., home) |
| definitely endangered | children no longer learn the language as mother tongue in the home |
| severely endangered | language is spoken by grandparents and older generations; while the parent generation may understand it, they do not speak it to children or among themselves |
| critically endangered | the youngest speakers are grandparents and older, and they speak the language partially and infrequently |
| extinct | there are no speakers left >> included in the Atlas if presumably extinct since the 1950s |
