Negidal is a Northern Tungusic language spoken in mainly in the along the Amur River in Khabarovsk Krai (Хабаровский край) in the Russian Far East. According to the Russian census of 2010, there are 19 speakers of Negidal out of a population of 513 Negidal people. Other more recent surveys have found fewer than 10 speakers.
Negidal is related closely to Evenki and Even, and is sometimes referred as a dialect of Evenki. The language is also known as El'kan Beye, Elkembey, Ilkan Beye, Neghidal or Negidaly.
There were two dialects of Negidal: Upper Negidal and Lower Negidal. Only Upper Negidal is still spoken.
A way of writing Negidal with the Cyrillic alphabet was devised by M. M. Khasanova (М. М. Хасановой) in 1992, and approved by the authorities in the Khabarovskij Kraj in 1993. However it was rarely used. In 2010 a Negidal textbook for primary schools was published. In 2016 the alphabet was revised with the removal of the letter Ө ө and the introduction of Њ њ.
ё, ж, з, ф, ц, ш, щ, ъ, ы, ь and я are only used in Russian loanwords and names.
