Paleosiberian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Paleosiberian (Palaeosiberian, Paleo-Siberian) languages or Paleoasian languages (from Greek palaios, "ancient") is a term of convenience used in linguistics to classify a disparate group of languages spoken in remote regions of Siberia. Their only common provenance is that they are held to have antedated the more dominant languages, particularly Tungusic and latterly Turkic languages that have largely displaced them. Yukaghir is held by some to be related to the Uralic languages. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Paleosiberian_languages   (409 words)

Koryak Languages Koryak belongs to the general grouping of languages commonly referred to as "Paleosiberian" or "Paleoasiatic," which is a residual category for isolates among the Altaic-Uralic, Sino-Tibetan, and Turkic language families.

info: Yeniseian_languages The Yeniseian languages have highly elaborate verbal morphology, to an extreme found elsewhere in Eurasia only in Burushaski and, to a lesser extent, in Basque and the Caucasian languages. Only two languages of this family survived into the 20th century, Ket, with around 1,000 speakers and Yugh, which is now possibly extinct. Attempts have been made by Soviet scholars to establish a relationship with the Burushaski or Sino-Tibetan languages, and Yeniseian frequently forms part of the Dene-Caucasian hypothesis, all of which remain speculative. www.napoli-pizza.net /Yeniseian_languages.html   (623 words)

Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages, sometimes called the Luorawetlan languages, are a language family of northeastern Siberia. The Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages are sometimes grouped with other unrelated language families as the Paleosiberian languages. In 1997 only two elderly speakers remained, so the language may now be extinct, with the rest of the ethnic group now assimilated into the Chukchi. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chukotko-Kamchatkan_languages   (143 words)

Language_families_and_languages LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates. Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram. A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified. language.school-explorer.com /info/Language_families_and_languages   (877 words)

Abstracts By considering the means of defining the phonetic unity of word-forms on the basis of languages displaying a variety of vowel systems the present study attempts to give theoretical clarification as to how the formation of phonetically unified word-forms depends on the phonological system of the concrete language involved. Among the languages used for this study there are none displaying the usual Indo-European types of accentuation, nor any with flectional morphology at all; on the other hand they all display various kinds of vowel harmony. This study involves both a historical presentation of the data from the languages concerned, as well as data from cognate languages spoken further away in other regions of Siberia and elsewhere. www.hum.ku.dk /ichl2003/abstracts/section1.html   (3294 words)

Paleosiberian languages It is sometimes grouped with the Paleosiberian languages, but this is merely a cover term for several isolates and small language families believed to have been present in Siberia prior to the arrival of Turkic languages and Tungusic languages speakers, it is not a proper language family.

individual book page The Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages are either a branch of Uralo-Siberian that has come under considerable typological influence from a Na-Dene or Pacific Rim substratum, or are Pacific Rim languages that have had considerable lexical and phonological input from Uralo-Siberian; either way, the area shows evidence of considerable linguistic layering. [F. is primarily concerned with the origin and history of the Eskimo-Aleut languages, but in order to construct a plausible scenario he is led to explore the more general question of Beringia both as the “gateway” to the New World and as a “bottleneck” to migration. Pushing the comparative method as far as it can stretch, F. believes that a genetic affiliation between Eskimo-Aleut and the Uralic languages and Yukagir is likely, although not certain. wings.buffalo.edu /linguistics/ssila/books/indbook/b313.htm   (325 words)
