Dukha or Dukhan is an endangered Turkic variety spoken by approximately five hundred people of the Dukhan (a.k.a. Tsaatan) 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 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]

Currently, the Dukhan language is mainly related to an amalgam of dialects from the nomadic people of Inner Mongolia, China, Russia, and surrounding areas.
