[[File:Kuduk Language Map.jpeg|250px|thumb|upright|Range of Kuduk dialect groups in Kuduk]]
It is estimated that there are at least 6 major varieties of Kuduk. These dialects form a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialect_continuum dialect continuum], in which differences in speech generally become more pronounced with greater distance. Generally, smaller clusters of tribes such as the Eastern Woodland Tribes and the Southern Heiki Tribes exhibit a larger frequency of differing dialects. The cities, although not officially given a dialectical category, also have a distinct form of speech of their own that usually differs from its tribe. An example would be [[Naryan]], a city with a specific dialect apart from the [[Manirak|Manirak Tribe]] that employs the heavy use of foreign loanwords.

Modern varieties of Kuduk are conventionally classified into six dialect groups, largely on the basis of the different evolution of Classical Kuduk:
* Háaka, including Modern Standard Kuduk, Naryanese, and Ayankese
* Heitsuk
* Chóokaneidi, including Codese and Ichinese
* Xunáa
* Huaduk
* Haichuk
Háaka and Modern Standard Kuduk are terms that are often used interchangeably in speech, but there is a distinction between the two. Háaka is a term used to describe all of the new-age dialects of Kuduk, including both Modern Standard Kuduk as well as the city-based dialects. MSK on the other hand refers to a specific dialect of Kuduk created in 1870 with the express purpose of helping the [[Tribes of Kuduk]] unite politically by linguistically uniting the country. Because of this, education in Kuduk employs a mandatory course in MSK for its students.
