No separate dictionary of the language exists though some lexical material is to be found in A. Joki's dictionary of the Northern Samoyedic languages (Kleinere Wörterverzeichnisse aus dem Jurak-, Jenissei- und Tawgy-Samojedischen, 1956).
In the course of time the differentiation process among the Northern Samoyedic languages continued, induced directly by geographical dispersion and the economically and culturally isolated position of Taymyr.
The research of the Nganasans has for a long time been part of Samoyedic studies in general.
