An Alaskan court has ruled that Yupik is not a "historically written language", apparently limiting the support that must be given to an already endangered language by the state.

I am not sure what counts as "historical" in Alaska, but I believe Yupik has been an Orthodox liturgical language since the days of the Russian settlement there.
