What does it mean to speak Sakha in the city? Words like Birds, a linguistic ethnography of Sakha discourses and practices in urban Far Eastern Russia, examines the factors that have aided speakers in maintaining - and adapting - their minority language over the course of four hundred years of contact with Russian speakers and the federal power apparatus.
