teachers do not speak the language like the students. In 2002 a translation of the Gospel of Luke was published in Itelmen. All of these works are published in the Southern dialect. A labialisation sign (˚) and a glottal stop sign (ʼ) are also used in instructional works. In the sequence of instructionally published signs Ă ă, Ŏ ŏ, Ў ў are not considered separate letters. Also, in many publications "Ԯ ԯ", "Ӆ ӆ" and "Ҳ ҳ" are used in place of the letters "Ԓ ԓ" and "Ӽ ӽ". The newspaper Native of Kamchatka, which regularly publishes works in Itelmen, does not use the letters Ă ă, Ŏ ŏ, Ў ў but uses the deepening sign (˚). Bibliography Volodin, Aleksandr P. (1976).
