Oroks (Uilta) and Orochs are ethnic
minorities in the Russian Far East. Lingustically they belong to
Manchu-Tungusic family. The former people live exclusively on the
Sakhalin island (Val, Nogliki, Poronaysk), the latter one live in
the vicinity of Sovetskaya Gavan’. The languages of both peoples
are either close to extinction (Orok), or apparently are already
extinct (Oroch). The present paper deals with not numerous facts
testifying to language contact between Oroks and Orochs presumably
some centuries ago. Mostly these are lexical borrowings from Oroch
into Orok. For the time being only one grammatical borrowing (from
Oroch into Orok, too) is found. Especially interesting are 5
variants of the Orok name for the Poronay river: all of them
indicate that Oroks borrowed the hydronym from a group of Orochs
which migrated to Sakhalin from the continent.
