The Yakut language, or Sakha, is a Turkic language with around 363,000 speakers that is spoken in the Sakha Republic in the Russian Federation. Its speakers are known as the Yakuts.

Yakut is written using the Cyrillic script: the modern Yakut alphabet, that was established in 1939 by Soviet Union, consists of the Russian one plus 5 additional letters: Ҕҕ, Ҥҥ, Өө, Һһ, Үү. The first printing in Yakut was a part of a Nicolaas Witsen's book published in 1692 in Amsterdam though.
