		This language, in turn, may have been related to such far-flung languages as Basque in Spain, Burushaski in northern India, the native languages of the Caucusus, as well as Tibetan and Chinese.
		Ket buried their dead in the earth, along with personal possessions, which were broken up before being put in the tomb; sometimes dogs were also killed and placed with the deceased.
		There is increased intermarriage with Russians, and the survival of the unique Ket language as a medium of everyday communication beyond the next two generations is in doubt.
