Abstract

The Deer Ewenki is the smallest group of Ewenki in China. Since the 18th century, significant changes have taken place in the ecological environment of the Deer Evenk language, and the Evenk language, which is interdependent with it, has also changed accordingly. After three important periods of settlement before and after liberation and ecological migration, the Evenk language speakers also changed the original monolingual into a bilingual — Evenk language and Russian and trilingual — Evenk language, Russian and Chinese, and till now the speakers of this language gradually disappeared, the language used by the Deer Ewenki has entered the list of endangered languages.
