The Alutor are the indigenous inhabitants of the northern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

In recent years the Vyvenka village school has started teaching the language.

If the vowel is short, including a schwa, they may also close with a single consonant.

'Alyutor has the following parts of speech: nouns, adjectives, numerals, pronouns, verbs, participles, adverbs, postpositions, conjunctions, and particles.

There are eleven cases: absolutive, ergative, locative, dative, lative, prolative, contractive, causative, equative, comitative, and associative.

They are second declension, and distinguish number in the ergative, locative, and lative cases, as well as the absolutive.

Finite verbs agree in person and number with their nuclear arguments; agreement is through both prefixes and suffixes.

Verbs distinguish two aspects, perfective, the bare stem, and imperfective, using the suffix -tkə / -tkəni.

There are five moods, indicative, imperative, optative, potential (marked by the circumfix ta…(ŋ)), and conjunctive (prefix ʔ-/a-).

Monopersonal verbs[clarification needed] include two conjugations, one with the third-person singular in ɣa-...-lin, and the other in n-...-qin.
