Finno-Ugric languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Angela Marcantonio, see References) believe that Ugric and Finnic are more distantly related than proponents advertise, and possibly are no closer than the Turkic and Ugric groups. The relation of the Finno-Permic and the Ugric groups is remote by some standards. While much has been speculatively deduced about the Finno-Ugric Urheimat, little is certain, and, of course, the relatedness of the languages does not necessarily imply any racial or cultural unity of the peoples speaking them. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Finno_Ugric

Finno-Ugric Languages The main language of the Ugric branch is Hungarian (or Magyar) with nearly 11 million speakers in Hungary and a further 3 million speakers in surrounding areas and through emigration. Two other Ugric languages are Khanty (or Ostyak), with over 13,000 speakers and Mansi (or Vogul), with around 3,000 speakers. Languages of the Finnic branch are spoken in the region between northern Norway and the White Sea, the whole of Finland, Estonia and parts of Russia. www.ddg.com /LIS/InfoDesignF97/paivir/finnish/finnugr.html

Finno-Ugric language family Totally 16 languages are included into Finno-Ugric family, which were developed from the united basic language in the deepest antiquity: Hungarian, Mansi, Khanty (The Group of the Ugric languages), Komi, Udmurt (Permic group), Mari, two Mordvin languages- Erzya and Moksha, Balto-Finnic languages- Finnish, Karelian, Izhora, Veps, Vod, Estonian, Liv languages. There are a lot of the toponyms of the Ugric origin in the Komi Republic, for example: Vychegda originated from Mansi "vich" - "moist meadow" and "jegda" - "river": the name of the Vym river - from Mansi "jem" - "holy". The Komi population, in its turn, had a large cultural and economic influence on the Mansi, there are above 300 Komi borrowings in the Mansi language. www.geocities.com /Athens/2282/finno.html

Helsingin Sanomat - International Edition - Foreign The communist paper compares the strivings toward autonomy by the Finno-Ugric areas with the bids for independence in trouble-torn republics of the North Caucasus, and concludes that the threat posed by the Ugric areas to Russia's unity is greater than that of the Caucasus. The main idea of the theories has been that the aim of the conspirators would be to grab the natural riches of the Ugric regions for a Finno-Ugric great power "that is in the making". Rossyiskaya Gazeta saw this as a precursor of sorts to an Ugric state. www.helsinginsanomat.fi /english/article/Suspicions+of+Finno+Ugric+conspiracy+in+Russia/1101981168282

Khanty Jointly with the Mansi and Hungarians, the Khanty language comprises the Ugric groups of the Finno-Ugric languages. Another view claims that the Andronovo culture is to be related to the Iranian ethnos rather than with the Ugric ethnic element, and the Kulai culture is thought to be the most ancient. The subsequent stage of ethnic interactions, which resulted in some of the Ob Ugrians assumed some elements of the Samoyedic culture, continued as late as the first ages of the second millennium. www.raipon.org /Web_Database/khant.html

The Heathens in Tartu in 1987 - 1994. Heritage Protection Club Tžlet People sought to synthesise the intuitive Ugric feeling (Leete 1994:92) that was considered to lay scattered in the depths of the archives as well as in the ways of life and thinking of the kinsfolk living in the vast expanses of Russia. This led firstly to the studies of folklore and the kindred nations, to the reassessment of earlier opinions, to attempts to understand and revive the values and knowledge contained in the folk tradition, to synthesise these and adapt these into the contemporary environment and society. It was in no way a wish to return to the cave, but unlike the academic research work, they tried to familiarise themselves with the world of the tradition, to sense it, to apply or try out what they had learned. www.vinland.org /heathen/pagancee/taara.html

Finno-Ugric languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A portion of the Baltic-Finnic lexicon is not shared with the remaining Finno-Ugric languages and may be due to a pre-Finnic substrate, which may coincide in part with the substrate of the Indo-European Baltic languages. As far as the Samic (Lappic) languages are concerned, a hypothesis has been advanced that the Sami were originally speakers of a different language, who adopted their current Finno-Ugric speech under the pressure of their Finnic neighbors. The relation of the Finno-Permic and the Ugric groups is remote by some standards. www.cypress.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Finno-Ugric_language   (1945 words)

Finland: Uralic and Finno-Ugric People Anti-Uralic attitudes have been destructive of all Finnic, Ugric, Samoyed and many other related tribes as evidenced by statistics. Only by conscious effort have they been able to survive where brethren were forcibly scattered and were often not allowed to cooperate in common goals. They have become foreigners in their own ancestral lands in many cases. peacecountry0.tripod.com /fincoop.htm   (1945 words)

Origin of Finnish and related languages — Virtual Finland In particular, the link between Hungarian and the Ob-Ugric languages spoken on the Siberian side of the Ural Mountains has been (and still is) considered uncertain, but from a purely linguistic viewpoint the relationship is indubitable. Thus, the Ugric group contains Hungarian and also the Ob-Ugrian languages of Khanty and Mansi, both spoken over an extensive area of westernmost Siberia, along the Ob and its tributaries. These groupings are based not so much on kinship and mutual intelligibility as on historical innovations that separate languages from other branches and language groups in the language family. virtual.finland.fi /finfo/english/langua.html   (1945 words)

Usein kysyttyä suomalais-ugrilaisista kielistä Nowadays, many linguists draw a more bush-like model, with the main branches (Finnic, Sámi, Mordvin, Mari, Permian, Ugric, Samoyed) all equal; their internal relationships cannot be satisfactorily accounted for in terms of the family-tree model.

Department of Finno-Ugric The theoretical and methodological frameworks established in the last decades are combined with the historical-comparative method in the studies which aim to discover the lexical innovations in the Ob-Ugric protolanguage, the common ancestor of Ostyak and Vogul. Also novel are those studies which attempt to describe the rules regulating the buildup of sound sequences in the Ugric and Obi-Ugric protolanguages. The Samoyedic research group at the department, consisting primarily of young researchers, specializes on describing Nganasan (Tavgi-Samoyed), one of the most endangered Samoyedic languages. www.nytud.hu /depts/fu   (4567 words)

The Hungarian Language For long it has been believed that Hungarian belongs to the Ugric branch of the Uralic language family based on a relatively large number of words of Finno-Ugric origin in the language. Hungarian, like other Finno-Ugric languages is agglutinative, which means word meanings are modified by adding different and multiple endings or suffixes to the words, rather than using prefixes like, for example, in English. Ármin Vámbéry, another well-known Turkologist of the last century suggested that Hungarian is an "ugricized" Turkish language rather than a pure Ugric language. studentorgs.utexas.edu /husa/origins/language.html   (4567 words)
