Chav-Chyvat (чавчыват)), also see below, settled Chukchi living on the Bering sea shoreline and in villages scattered along the shore of the Arctic Ocean call themselves Anklyt (ан’к’альыт) (sing. Ankalyn (ан’к’альын)) maritime or coastal (from Chuk. anky (ан’к’ы) the sea). In the early 1930s the ethnonym Luoravetlan (луораветлан) and the term Luoravetlan language (луораветланский язык) (from Chuk. Lygoravetlan (лыг’ораветлан) a real man used as one of Chukchi ethnoyms) were introduced instead of terms Chukchi and Chukchi language; however, these names were not adopted and have not been used since the late 1930s.
