	Khanty Language
		Khanty is predominantly an agglutinative language with no prepositions and numerous affixes, each of which expresses a particular function.
		The denial of people's development and use of its native tongue is thus a denial of its participation in society and its very peoplehood.
		Khanty being one of the biggest and complex ethnic groups of the North Western Siberia generally preserved their total population number: 1926 - 22306 pers., 1950 - 19410 pers., 1970 - 21138 pers., 1979 - 20934 pers., 1989 - 22521 pers., thus natural growth of the population was either absent or compensated by assimilation processes.

		As official names, the words "Khanty" and "Mansi" were accepted after 1917, but in the old documents of the Russian Empire and scientific literature, Khanty people were called as "Ostyaki" and the Mansi people were called as Voguly or Vogulichi.
		The older Khanty people have retained numerous beliefs and cults throughout the centuries, regardless of obvious difficulties.
		Russian explorers, such as G. Dunkin-Gorchavin who studied the Khanty in the beginning of the twentieth century, had this to say about them: they were extremely honest, peaceful, of good heart; they never fought among themselves, and created a system of shared welfare that eliminated poverty from their ranks.
