Holikachuk is an Athabaskan language formerly spoken at the village of Holikachuk on the Innoko River in central Alaska. The Holikachuk people now live in Grayling on the lower Yukon River. Holikachuk is intermediate between Deg Hit'an and Koyukon, and was not identified as a separate language until the 1970s. Of about 200 Holikachuk people, only about 12 speak the language.
