REPORT SUBMITTED BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION In accordance with Article 17 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) of the RSFSR judicial proceedings are held in the Russian language or in the language of the autonomous republic, autonomous oblast, autonomous okrug, or in the language of the majority of the population of that area. Small peoples of the North are an exception hereto: educational and methodological support to teaching their native languages is within the competence of federal authorities. Beside that the Law on Mass Media does not contain any limitations concerning the language of the mass media to be registered and prohibits the use of mass media to arouse national and religious intolerance and hatred. www.minelres.lv /reports/russia/russia.htm   (12048 words)

The proto-language was spoken at least some six thousand years ago (roughly at the same time as the Indo-European proto-language), which means that the most distant branches of the FU language family are very distantly related. www.helsinki.fi /~jolaakso/fufaq.html   (12048 words)

Finno-Ugric and Turkic? This also means that there may be a lot of genetic and cultural relatedness between some Finno-Ugric and Turkic peoples. In this thought, language, culture, and race melted together into an indivisible whole, the role of language as the most important characteristic of a nation was vastly exaggerated, and generations after generations were taught never to question the -- largely language-based -- definitions of a nation. The mechanisms by which language is transmitted are fundamentally different from those of cultural or genetic transmission, which means that people can be genetically related (have some ancestors in common) or culturally “related” (have a significant amount of elements of a common origin in their cultures) without speaking languages that are related (i.e. homepage.univie.ac.at /Johanna.Laakso/fu_tu.html   (1261 words)

Out of the 33 workers of the kindergarten not a single one has a commission of teaching in the Nenets language - the only teacher of the Nenets language has been dismissed on no sufficient grounds. The children attending the kindergarten do not know the Russian language; the elimination of teaching in the native language has been unjustified. www.raipon.net /english/library/ipw/number3/article22.html   (3851 words)

Background Notes Archive - Europe The Roman historian Tacitus in the first century A.D. was the first to mention the Aisti, and early Scandinavians called the land south of the Gulf of Finland "Eistland," and the people "aistr." Estonians belong to the Baltic-Finnic group of the Finno-Ugric peoples, as do the Finns and Hungarians. Written with the Latin alphabet, Estonian is the language of the Estonian people and the official language of the country. This "Letter of the Forty" spoke out against the use of force against protestors and the increasing threat to the Estonian language and culture. dosfan.lib.uic.edu /ERC/bgnotes/eur/estonia94.html   (5158 words)

Jared Diamond on the Indo-European conquests But never again were steppe peoples able to impose their language on Western Europe. Thanks to the global expansion of Europeans since 1492 - especially of people from England, Spain, Portugal, France, and Russia - nearly half the world's present population of five billion now speaks an Indo-European language as its native tongue. But the quest to understand the first stage is a search for an elusive people whose language and society lie veiled in the pre-literate past, even though they became world conquerors and founded today's dominant societies. users.cyberone.com.au /myers/diamond.html   (6031 words)

Kiitos, Kalevi! Metafilter Kalevi Wiik makes the argument that most of Europe may have spoken a proto Finno-Ugric language before the appearance of Indo-European speakers in the region. Actually, pretty much everything about theories concerning ancient proto languages is up for debate. Basically, we have to do some strange contortions and seriously undermine the idea that ASL is a true language in order to assert the only one proto language hypothesis. www.metafilter.com /mefi/33712   (6031 words)

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)

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)

Finno-Ugric languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia According to the interpretation of the geneticists who conducted the study, the ancestors of modern Germanic and Slavic-speaking peoples were in fact largely speakers of Finno-Ugric languages at some earlier time. The relation of the Finno-Permic and the Ugric groups is remote by some standards. As far as the Sami (Lappic) languages are concerned, a hypothesis has been advanced that the ancestors of the Sami originally spoke a different language, but adopted their current tongue under the pressure of their Finnic-speaking neighbours. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Finno-Ugric   (2285 words)

Finno-Ugric and Turkic? many Finno-Ugric peoples (notably: Hungarians, Mordvins [Erzya/Moksha], Mari, Udmurts, some Siberian peoples), due to their intensive contacts with some Turkic peoples, have (often many) layers of Turkic loanwords in their languages. This view has been propagated by some Hungarians ever since the Finno-Ugric relatedness was discovered. This also means that there may be a lot of genetic and cultural relatedness between some Finno-Ugric and Turkic peoples. homepage.univie.ac.at /Johanna.Laakso/fu_tu.html   (1261 words)

Possible Language Shifts in the Uralic Language Group It should also be kept in mind that all the modern Ugric languages testify to the pidginisation process, first of all in the form of the reduction of the word-changing system of substantives. If this was caused by  Samoyeds, one can suppose that the pidginised Ugric language form spread from West Siberia to the western side of the Urals as well. Lapps may have preserved some substratum from some other (Basque type?) language, Ugrians — some substratum from a Paleosiberian type (from Samoyeds?), Samoyeds — some substratum from a Paleosiberian (partly also Ugric?) type, Mordvins — some substratum from an Ugric (Mansi?) type of language. www.ut.ee /Ural/kynnap/kpls.html   (1261 words)

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.

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   (1261 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   (1261 words)
