Nankôre, from the words ''nan'' ("man, human") and ''kôre'' ("speech"), is spoken by the Nanhoshka people of Kôya Island.  There are two main dialects, the Konishmak, located in the Northeastern Coastal Mountains, and the Sapshira, encompassing the western and southern parts of the country.  The dialects differ chiefly in pronunciation and differences in certain lexical items, but are otherwise mutually intelligible.
